MIT: https://tldrlegal.com/license/mit-license Basically it means that anybody can use my code but I won't be liable/responsible for it.
Apache 2: https://tldrlegal.com/license/apache-license-2.0-(apache-2.0). Anybody can use my code. I won't be liable for it and nobody can use my name/trademark to promote their code. You have to maintain license, contributors and state changes.
BSD-0: https://tldrlegal.com/license/bsd-0-clause-license. Anybody can use my code. I won't be liable for it and you don't need to add the license
BSD-2: https://tldrlegal.com/license/bsd-2-clause-license-(freebsd). Identical to MIT
BSD-3: https://tldrlegal.com/license/bsd-3-clause-license-(revised). Code free to use. No liable and no trademark. Maintain copyright and license.
BSD-4: https://tldrlegal.com/license/4-clause-bsd. Idem to BSD-3 but you have to give credit to the author.
It is not clear if you have to update the year in the copyright. Some people say you should update the year if you have made changes and some people say that it is only necessary to add the year of the first creation.
Tensorflow, caffe updated the license every year. Facebook in fastText use BSD-3 with initial year until present.
Finally updated to BSD-3:
