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.

213c5400bc re-add 'featured' field 
was unused for choosealicense.com display after
https://github.com/github/choosealicense.com/pull/386

but choosealicense.com is vendored into licensee which eventually
is used in GitHub; 'featured' determines what is highlighted in
license drop-down eg at https://github.com/new

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."

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.

39154843df cc-by-sa-4.0: Weaken "same license" to mention compatibility 
The human-readable summary uses "same license" [1], but also links to
a page listing other compatible licenses [2], and the license text
includes a compatible-license alternative [3,4].  This commit links to
that same set of compatible licenses using Mike's wording [5].
