Can you explain what a "patent release" is?


BSD is basically just granting a copyright license. Apache grants you a right to use any patents the code may use.

Where I work contracts and grants prefers that we use BSD because they (as I understand it) think apache's patent grants are too broad.

Contracts and grants prefers we use Education Community License over apache http://www.educause.edu/wiki/Educational+Community+License
