MIT & BSD don't include a patent grant, that's a good reason to go with the Apache license.


The Apache license is IMO ok in isolation. But its good to minimize the number of licenses used to enable sharing of code between programs. I also have a serious dislike of the Apache Foundation for their continued "support" of the joke that is OpenOffice and its trademark. That is such a disservice to open source and Free Software that I boycott them.
