joyjoy,

This also includes things for proprietary software like the Pokemon Go Terms of Service.

Assuming you’re looking to decide on a license for some software you’re writing, I’d love to hear what license you end up settling on and what kind of software application you’re applying it to if/when you’ve come to a decision.

Honesty just reading them all doesn’t take long as they aren’t super long or wordy, and then you know what the terms for using any FOSS software is just by looking at what the licence is

It’s not necessarily that they’re long, but more that I’m somewhat weary of the meaning of some of the wording used in legal docs.

entropicshart,

https://opensource.org/licenses/ is a good place to find truly open source licenses, as there are some out there that claim to be something they’re not.

Thanks this is exactly what I was looking for. The pros cons list gives you a simple at a glance understanding of the differences.
