Are there any particularly good comparisons of OSS licenses in terms of facts as well as perception?

I regularly see comments on one project or another pointing to a XYZ license as the reason a project failed / has few contributors as if the 'problem' with that particular license is entirely self-evident.

It's awfully confusing as I'm sure I've seen polar opposite opinions on every major license under the sun, each entirely bereft of context.

tldrlegal.com is a really good resource

If you want the facts, tldrlegal looks like a terrible source (except for the original license texts), and will no doubt contribute to the confusion with its vague, misleading and incomplete tl;drs.
