In many projects these days most of the novel code consists of glue code that helps combine dozens of different libraries, plugins and helpers that are licensed under a variety of open source licenses.In many cases the licenses are fairly obvious as they carry the name of the license in the license file or comment. In others this is a bit harder and requires memorizing certain wordings to tell the more common licenses apart.I am wondering: Is there an easy way to recognize particularly the very similar licenses (say, MIT/BSD-2/BSD-3) without having to memorize complete license texts or check out the OSI copies as reference?
Best way to reliably recognize open source licenses?
