Matija Šuklje analyses the European Union Public Licence and concludes:

The EUPL is a safe choice for your own project. Especially If you are new to the concept of FOSS, I would advise you to check out the EUPL because of its clarity and compatibility.

The biggest benefit of the EUPL, though, is that it shows how it is possible to write a solid FOSS license that covers many legal systems, is valid in a lot of languages, is clear and understandable, and offers a nice set of checks and balances.

Maybe in the future, we’ll be able to agree on a similar global public license – I sure hope so!
