many respects but it is intended to solve a few problems with those licenses.
* The AFL is written so as to make it clear what software is being licensed (by the inclusion
of a statement following the copyright notice in the software). This way, the license
functions better than a template license. The BSD, MIT and UoI/NCSA licenses apply to
unidentified software.
* The AFL contains a complete copyright grant to the software. The BSD and Apache
licenses are vague and incomplete in that respect.
* The AFL contains a complete patent grant to the software. The BSD, MIT, UoI/NCSA and
Apache licenses rely on an implied patent license and contain no explicit patent grant.
* The AFL makes it clear that no trademark rights are granted to the licensor's trademarks.
The Apache license contains such a provision, but the BSD, MIT and UoI/NCSA licenses
do not.
* The AFL includes the warranty by the licensor that it either owns the copyright or that it
is distributing the software under a license. None of the other licenses contain that
warranty. All other warranties are disclaimed, as is the case for the other licenses.
* The AFL is itself copyrighted (with the right granted to copy and distribute without
modification). This ensures that the owner of the copyright to the license will control
changes. The Apache license contains a copyright notice, but the BSD, MIT and
UoI/NCSA licenses do not.
