small link to appendix & improve for linking, guiding back to home page

Browse Source 
Based on feeedback from people looking for BSD licenses and wanting to
use site as a reference.

I'm not thrilled with any distraction from flow of choices that
work for most on home page through spectrum covering range of open
source licenses without redundant ones, but obviously some people
prefer seeing everything in a table, so let them find it, accommodate
use as reference and people whose learning style involes poring
over a reference rather than being guided.
