This is a comparison of published free software licenses.

General comparison

The following table compares various features of each license and is a general guide to the terms and conditions of each license.

Note that a "yes" in either of the last two columns (Link with code using a different license and Release changes under a different license) is not an absolute answer, there may still be restrictions in the license related to this action. You should review the specific license terms<ref name="ref_OSI"/> and refer to the reference table<ref name="ref_Rusin">{{#invoke:citation/CS1|citation |CitationClass=web }}</ref> for more details regarding a "yes" in these columns.

Template:Note Listed as WTFPL.

+==Notes==
+* {{note|1|1}} Was never revised.
+* {{note|2|2}} Compatible with version 3 of the GPL but not version 2.
+* {{note|3|3}} The original version of the Artistic License is defined as non-free because it is overly vague, not because of the substance of the license. The FSF encourages projects to use the Clarified Artistic License instead.[http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#ArtisticLicense]
+* {{note|4|4}} Listed as WTFPL.
