Legend

Open source licenses grant to the public ✓ permissions to do things with licensed works which copyright or other "intellectual property" laws might otherwise disallow.

Most open source licenses' grants of permissions are subject to compliance with ⓘ conditions.

Most open source licenses also have ✕ limitations that usually disclaim warranty and liability, and sometimes expressly exclude patents or trademarks from licenses' grants.
