1422ea3386 Prefer (L)GPL 3.0 to 2.x.
The GPL v3 is an improvement over v2 fixing several issues and
increasing compatibility with other free software licenses.  As such
there is no reason to feature v2 prominently rather than v3.  See
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/rms-why-gplv3.en.html for more rationale.

15ebedb726 Rename "Patent Grant" to "Patent Use"
Per the discussion in #168, the consumers of the softare are granted the right to use patents. So "Patent Use" makes more sense from a consumer perspective than "Patent Grant".

eb56474487 Remove sublicense warning for GPL-3.0
From Section 10:

> Each time you convey a covered work, the recipient automatically
> receives a license from the original licensors, to run, modify and
> propagate that work, subject to this License.

Sublicensing is technically forbidden, but the copyleft makes the ability to sublicense irrelevant.
