For http://docs.python-guide.org/en/latest/writing/license/, I have yet to find a comprehensive and simple comparison of open source licenses to reference.

http://paulmillr.com/posts/simple-description-of-popular-software-licenses/ is the best that I've found in graphic form and I believe the the information is accurate, but I'm not an expert!

Is the idea for the page to provide a simple listing of available licenses or suggest a 2-3 main license types depending on your situation?

(Sidenote, know of any statistics on what license type is used most on PyPI or preferred? Or what % of projects lack a license/trove classifier for license type?)
