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.

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.

Rework descriptions of 7 listed on /licenses

- primarily functional
- drop self-naming
- minimize requiring significant understanding of other licenses or
copyright
- 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.

There's a strong argument they have implied patent licenses, but
this site doesn't annotate any other implied patent licenses, as
one would expect given the description of the patent-use field "This
license provides an express grant of patent rights from the contributor
to the recipient."

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.

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.
