END OF LICENSE. The following is intended to describe the essential
differences between the Academic Free License (AFL) version 1.0 and other
open source licenses: 

The Academic Free License is similar to the BSD, MIT, UoI/NCSA and Apache
licenses in 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.
