Mike Linksvayer 83c39a345d 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.

For reference, all licenses described in the choosealicense.com repository, in a table.

If you're here to choose a license, start from the home page to see a few licenses that will work for most cases.

Legend

Open source licenses grant to the public permissions to do things with licensed works copyright or other "intellectual property" laws might otherwise disallow.

Most open source licenses' grants of permissions are subject to compliance with conditions.

Most open source licenses also have limitations that usually disclaim warranty and liability and sometimes expressly exclude patent or trademark from licenses' grants.

{{ rule_obj.label }}
