I like the table - it makes the differences and similarities quite clear.

I have one nitpick on the comparison: For “other versions” it states
for the GPL:

    “Compliance with any version automatically permitted if no version
    specified; otherwise no by default, but licensor may specify that
    later/other versions allowable. No additional obligations are
    imposed on authors where a reuser follows a later version. (§§14)”

It would be nice to add, that the suggested license text allows any
later version, and that there is an option to select a proxy who can
decide for each later version whether the works may be used under this
version (clause 14). Additionally clause 13 allows using the AGPL
(which is a GPL with added copyleft protection for applications which
are accessed over the network - a requirement for providing copyleft
in remote services).

Best wishes,
Arne
