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.
