General comparison

The following table compares various features of each license and is a general guide to the terms and conditions of each license.^[1]

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^[2] and refer to the reference table^[1] for more details regarding a "yes" in these columns.

Notes

^1 Was never revised.
^2 Compatible with version 3 of the GPL but not version 2.
^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.[1]
^4 Listed as WTFPL.
