Hey folks,

Can you give a recommendation what to read to get acquainted with the software licensing topics? I appreciate this is a very complicated topic and I won’t become an expert, but I’d like to try to dip my toes into just for the fun of it and to satisfy some curiosity. e.g. why disclaimers in BSD-style licenses are formulated with this specific language, and why Polyform’s plain language is unenforceable (according to some comments here on HN). Tbh, having a mere appreciation of the complexity of this topic would be a fine learning outcome for me, really.

Anything you can recommend to read? Books, articles, court cases?
