Two topics that come up fairly often on the site:
Why licenses are important
I've seen a general policy with most organizations where -- if you cannot find a clear and obvious license -- you cannot use the program. This policy keeps companies out of legal hot water. As a result, you can be sure that any software with terms not clearly spelled out isn't going to see use outside of personal/educational groups.
Creative Commons used as a software license
This group does some amazing things but software isn't one of them. Here, Creative Commons talks about software and makes recommendations for licenses.
