Simplifying The World Of Open Source Licenses

Bruce Perens talks about simplifying the mesh of open source licenses created. The open source licenses are driven more to protect the open source world from the proprietary world by applying various levels of strictness. I wonder if we will be control the number of licenses, as every developer might have his/her own idea of strictness. And I do not think it is the number of licenses but the possible incompatibilities between them that causes the problem. I would prefer to see something that defines the compatibilities in an easier way for the developers.

Say your thought!
