ada5a49769 focus additional resources on choosing an open license, not lists of licenses
Fixes #490 which was concerned that the additional resources list did not include all like items, I understand driven by concern that the SPDX license list includes non-open licenses. So does the FSF license list -- worse, it even recommends some.

This fix focuses the list on resources about choosing an open license, not resources listing a bunch of licenses. Fortunately both OSI and FSF have pages directly addressing choosing a license.

I've removed the SPDX and English Wikipedia lists.

7eb19e1368 Link to Open Source Guide on The Legal Side of Open Source
https://opensource.guide/legal/ one of a set of guides released today https://github.com/blog/2318-announcing-open-source-guides

For now just adding as an additional resource, eventually should be worked into home and/or licenses pages.

ce5b42e510 Add SPDX license list reference
It may be relevant to add a link to SPDX as even though  SPDX is referenced is many other places in the repo, it does not show up in the about.md.
That would a nice addition! (disclaimer: I am on of the SPDX co-founders)

37f065425b always usually evaluates to false
Remove "If you have questions or issues, it is always best to consult
a legal professional."

It's not always best, especially considering it's costly and for
most finding one knowledgable about open source licensing will be
difficult.

If it were always best, the site should consist of

<h1>Consult a legal professional.</h1>

But seriously, claiming one should consult a legal professional is
no way to make choosing an open source license non-scary.

The breadcrumbs navigation is now in the default template. The removes some duplication. The only page it shouldn't be shown on is the home page.

Rather than say these are the ones you only need to choose, we just say
most projects will be fine with one of these choices.
