NCSA "developed by" ordering
"Development Group" comes before "Name of Institution", so `project` should come before `fullname` as these most closely correspond.

6b554b769f Use license text from source
The existing license text was introduced in https://github.com/github/choosealicense.com/pull/126 presumably by copying and pasting from https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/legalcode though I'm not sure how to explain the link at the end. Probably should be updated with https://creativecommons.org/publicdomain/zero/1.0/legalcode.txt or https://spdx.org/licenses/CC0-1.0.html ... latter marks disclaimer as optional and doesn't have first line "Creative Commons Legal Code". This commit uses former.

Making due to https://github.com/benbalter/licensee/issues/172 but holding off on merge pending more discussion there.

570f69e4ec hidden: false for 'popular' licenses
- document criteria for whether a license is hidden
  - needed for license spectrum on /licenses OR
  - on 'popular' list at https://opensource.org/licenses (some other list could be used in the future)
- adjust license properties and tests accordingly

This gets non-hidden list back close to what it was before #386 and (pending licensee vendoring this change, licensee release, and github.com licensee dependency version bump) some commonly requested licenses (eg #413 #449) will reappear in the github.com license drop-down.

8de49ac800 alignment with other records
* same-license is not a limitation and doesn't apply in any way to BSL-1.0
* other licenses with a per-file notice recommendation get that added to the note field
* have the description mention the reason for this license existing, binary distribution without notices (IIUC)
* remove using: pending an example that can be followed by others and detected eg on GitHub, see https://github.com/github/choosealicense.com/blob/gh-pages/README.md#optional-fields and see #358 #372 #377

- drop self-naming
- minimize requiring significant understanding of other licenses or

- should be excruciatingly bland for anyone who already knows the licenses
  well; newcomers shouldn't have to deal with baggage immediately

Probably a few more words should be added to the xGPLv3s about their
stronger patent terms.

Licenses not listed on /licenses could be described in similar style.

810eeb5618 rename/order license properties better reflect how licenses work
and are structured

grant (permissions)
conditioned on (conditions)
with limitations

Permissions coming first combats mistaken but apparently widespread
impression that licenses impose conditions, even such that without
a license, there would be no conditions/work would be in the public
domain.

Requirements->Conditions emphasizes that they are pertinent if one
wants to take advantage of permissions.

Forbiddens->Limitations is more accurate: in most cases licenses
don't give permission to hold licensors liable, in some cases to
use licensors' trademarks or patents, but a licensee does not lose
the permissions granted by the license if the licensee holds licensor
liable, etc. Also emphasizes that there are limitatations on the
license grant, not that the license imposes prohibitions.

The most concise place to see both the rename and reorder is in
_includes/license-overview.html

I did not reorder the appearance of the groups of properties in
license source files (.txt files in _licenses) as those orderings
are not used to render anything on the webiste. Might do so later.

92b2fa9728 Remove 'library-usage'
The last meaningful change to this tag was c4c48d49 (Change nonstatic
to library usage, 2013-07-10), but I'm not sure where that discussion
happened.  In any case, that commit changed some "must" wording to
"may" wording, which seems like it should move the label from required
to permitted.  However, a library-usage permission would also apply to
many other licenses (e.g. folks are free to link MIT-licensed work
from a proprietary program), and adding library-usage to almost all
the licenses seems like the wrong way to make this distinction [1].

The limitations that the LGPL and OSL place on disclose-source scoping
are already covered in the disclose-source description, so the
library-usage label doesn't seem to be adding anything meaningful.
The OSL gets at this distinction by tightly scoping derivative works
[2], and the LGPL talks about combined works as a special subset of
derivative works [3,4].  The MPL makes a similar distinction between
"Covered Software" and "Larger Work" [5], and the EPL makes a similar
distinction between "derivative works" and "the Program" [6].  Whether
the location of those distinctions, or the requirements placed on
combined works can be neatly summarized in a boolean label remains to
be seen, but we're pretty sure that library-usage is not that label
[7].

Subsequent commits may replace the caveat in the disclose-source
description with wording in the license description themselves or by
adding a new label that summarizes the issue.  Until then, the
disclose-source description more clearly covers the information that
library-usage was intended to convey, so this commit removes the
less-clear label to avoid redundancy.
