Aside. That isn't completely true. License proliferation predates the open source movement, and I think has greatly improved since the Open Source Initiative started. Also the Free Software Foundation does a fantastic job of documenting the incompatibilities, and providing a small set of licenses that have huge quantities of work under them.
