The following is intended to describe the essential +differences between the Academic Free License (AFL) version 1.0 and +other open source licenses: + +The Academic Free License is similar to the BSD, MIT, UoI/NCSA and +Apache licenses in many respects but it is intended to solve a few +problems with those licenses. + * The AFL is written so as to make it clear what software is being + licensed (by the inclusion of a statement following the copyright + notice in the software). This way, the license functions better + than a template license. The BSD, MIT and UoI/NCSA licenses apply + to unidentified software. + * The AFL contains a complete copyright grant to the software. The + BSD and Apache licenses are vague and incomplete in that respect. + * The AFL contains a complete patent grant to the software. The BSD, + MIT, UoI/NCSA and Apache licenses rely on an implied patent + license and contain no explicit patent grant. + * The AFL makes it clear that no trademark rights are granted to the + licensor's trademarks. The Apache license contains such a + provision, but the BSD, MIT and UoI/NCSA licenses do not. + * The AFL includes the warranty by the licensor that it either owns + the copyright or that it is distributing the software under a + license. None of the other licenses contain that warranty. All + other warranties are disclaimed, as is the case for the other + licenses. + * The AFL is itself copyrighted (with the right granted to copy and + distribute without modification). This ensures that the owner of + the copyright to the license will control changes. The Apache + license contains a copyright notice, but the BSD, MIT and UoI/NCSA + licenses do not. + |
