What different open-source liscenses are there?

Howdy! I am just wondering (because of personal confusion) what are the various liscenses and restrictions for open-sourced software?

I'm just looking for some links, but if you wanna cut and paste some definitions, that's cool too.

Sorry this is clearly not the place to ask, but since we have so many packages here I thought the developers could help me out with this....

Thank you!!

Have a look here. There a loads of different opensource licences because each differs in the conditions. e.g. GPL requires you to distribute all modifications too, BSD licence means you can take the open source and dont have to give anything away (you can use the product under the BSD licenec in almost anything)

Anyway, there is a list of them here
