Does anyone know of a similar breakdown for licences like GPL v2 and the like? It's a part of programming I feel like I should know more about but never took the time to look at.

Linked on the first line of the article:

Contains a post about the AGPL, which specifically does not go into detail about the GPL but just the difference between them.

Not super helpful

Needs a new edition but comprehensive enough for GPLv2: https://www.oreilly.com/library/view/understanding-open-sour...

It's called "A Practical Guide to WordPress and the GPL" and I must admit, it's easy to understand.
