Thanks for the efforts on this.
It looks good but is rather confusing IMHO for people who haven't heard
of these licenses before...

I agree that tooltips and links are needed.

If we loose the word "License" then we have space for the full acronyms.
Much more understandable like that I think.

For example the "M" license can be confused with the M+ license
http://mplus-fonts.sourceforge.jp/mplus-outline-fonts/
(project-specific license).

Various other licenses start with letters O M G.

I'm sure sure a letter guessing game is really all that useful as DRE
(Digital Right Expression) :-)

The book looks relatively thick to me: our licenses are not so long
(well apart from the GPL maybe but rightfully so...), what about
something which looks more like a one-page document and the acronyms
overlaid slightly on the side?

Maybe the Tango or GNOME icons can provide some inspiration:

HTH,

Cheers,
