Reasons to Not Make up your Own Open Source License

If Google can’t get their WebM license right, then who can:

I did wonder why they didn’t just go with GPLv3 but I figured that Google usually like the BSD-style licenses. They have answers on their Licensing FAQ but still, it makes you wonder.

For example, I wonder if this is essentially the BSD license with the patent clauses from the GPLv3. That would be both interesting and cool, though I’d still prefer GPL over BSD.
