7bce113189 Demystified -> made 
Claiming open source licenses need to be demystified is a claim
that they are mysterious. Choosealicense.com is not *Capital*; its
topic does not need to be mystified and demystified at once.

http://robertpaulwolff.blogspot.com/2014/09/more-on-language-and-social-reality.html

Someone encountering open source licenses for the first time at
choosealicense.com should have zero reason to think open source
licensing is mysterious.

37f065425b always usually evaluates to false 
Remove "If you have questions or issues, it is always best to consult
a legal professional."

It's not always best, especially considering it's costly and for
most finding one knowledgable about open source licensing will be
difficult.

If it were always best, the site should consist of

<h1>Consult a legal professional.</h1>

But seriously, claiming one should consult a legal professional is
no way to make choosing an open source license non-scary.

001d3dea74 Choose an open source license 
"[D]oesn't have to be scary" is hardly non-judgmental nor inviting
for anyone whose first encounter with open source licensing is this
site. I've also never heard anyone other than this site claim that
choosing an open source license can be scary. Confusing or extremely
boring, yes. Choosing to go open source, yes that can be scary.
Choosing among open source licenses, no.
