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

6fe44f4637 Make nickname a required meta field 
Add missing nicknames
Use SPDX ID if no customary nickname (eg GNU GPLv3) exists

This ensures that a relatively compact name is always available

I may be missing some obvious customary names, e.g., is "Eclipse
1.0" customary? For now I've used the SPDX ID, EPL-1.0.

is used in GitHub; 'featured' determines what is highlighted in

7b4160681c 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.

8be0e5f8c2 rm patent-use permission field from GPLv2 and LGPLv2.1 metadata 
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."
