I read the permissive, BSD-style licenses as they’re very short, and I read the GPL, I don’t bother wasting my time with the MPL and other licenses written so that only lawyers understand them.
Nonetheless, I admit sometime I have not red the licenses associated to Open Source software during installation – not implementation – by lack of time and also because for myself it is not always clear and sometime painfull to read for non-lawyers.
Ok, I am guilty.
Nonetheless that is true, It is indeed specifically mentioned for instance in the Gnome Package Manager or in the RPM.
But in order to see the licence I have to google it – maybe a link to that licence could be usefull –
In addition, I found demanding to read license each time I see new one.
So what would think a beginner if he had to read each time licence ?
And after all, does he really know he had to read licenses ?
Ce n'est plus ce que c'était ! ça fonctionne maintenant.

Do you sign contracts without reading them?
Dear Philip,
Obviously no, I do not.
