Re: [DIYbio] DIY Science Equipment contest

Someone needs to write a good comparison of all these licenses,
because this is all really hard to follow. Some kind of venn diagram
or something where an inventor/creator could quickly /visually/
identify which license they should consider seriously.

I don't want to read through every license out there, I'm sure enough
people have done that already, but have any of them shared their
results?
