small link to appendix & improve for linking, guiding back to home page Based on feeedback from people looking for BSD licenses and wanting to use site as a reference. I'm not thrilled with any distraction from flow of choices that work for most on home page through spectrum covering range of open source licenses without redundant ones, but obviously some people prefer seeing everything in a table, so let them find it, accommodate use as reference and people whose learning style involes poring over a reference rather than being guided.

<p>Open source licenses grant permission to everyone to use, modify, and share licensed software for any purpose, subject to conditions preserving the provenance and openness of the software. The following licenses are arranged from one with the strongest of these conditions (GNU AGPLv3) to one with no conditions (Unlicense). Notice that the popular licenses featured on the <a href="/">home page</a> (GNU GPLv3, Apache License 2.0, and MIT License) fall within this spectrum.</p>

The above licenses represent the entire spectrum of open source licenses, from highly protective to unconditional. One of these should work for most new open source projects. Many other open source licenses exist, including older versions of and close substitutes for some of the above. See the resources listed on our <a href="/about/">about page</a> if you'd like to read more.
