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.

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".
