What is the name of your state? Pennsylvania
I am trying to start an online business, so I end up using many different online services, many of which have varying Terms of Service. Reading all of them is time consuming, but that's not even the problem. Legal text can be difficult to read for someone who is not well-versed in the law. Does anyone know of any sort of online forum/website that has common-language (not legal text) translations of commonly used software licenses and/or explanations of certain difficult parts of software licenses? I was thinking about how it would be great if somewhere out there was a Wikipedia of sorts for software licenses. Of course, people would have to read most software licenses anyway because the information would not be guaranteed to be reliable, but it would at least provide a starting point and a last resort when one does not understand something. Does anything like this exist? I've been trying to find something like this, but to no avail.
Thanks a lot.
