I read the BSD 2-Clause License and Skype’s license. I was
surprised following facts about these two types of license. First of all, the
length of the licenses are quite different. BSD 2-Clause license is very short.
On the contrary, Skype’s license is quite long. Second, the content of the
license have the big difference as well. BSD 2-Clause license only contains the
license template and conditions to redistribute and use. Skype license have
much more content, containing 22 sections. Each section is about the different
aspects, such as charges, payments, and license, use of the software and
products and Skype and so on. It puts as much as possible related content into
the license. Third, the tone and the words they used in these two license are
different. BSD 2-Clause license is not strictly like a business document. The
Skype license is a formal business document. It has everything that a formal
business document should have.
