I had the thought it would be useful to offer a quick and simple breakdown of the more popular licenses for those who don't speak legalese.  Ideally the format should be to list a license name, and a simple, unopinonated, breakdown of what the license states. (The short version!)

Since I myself am one of the people who is not fluent in legalese however, I cannot actually provide the info I'd like to see. - [Jeremy Miller]
