What is permissive-next for?

[James Frost]

I was wondering what the intent of the permissive-next[1] licence was?

By my reading it is essentially equivalent to the Apache 2.0 licence, 
does it add anything that I have missed? It seems to me that permissive 
licences are plenty well covered by the Apache 2.0/MIT/BSD licences.

Does this licence add anything over Apache 2.0 that I have missed, or is 
there some other reason for its creation?

Thanks,
James.
