08d8173bd8 Merge pull request #456 from github/unhidden-criteria 
hidden: false for 'popular' licenses
 2016-09-26 13:34:07 -07:00
Mike Linksvayer
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

0cee43e3c5 Update no-license 
- qualify "no [actions]" with "without being at risk..."
- mention exceptions and limitations, jurisdiction-specific
- mention that collaborators don't give you permission, either
- remove trivial example copyright notice, suggest adding statement symmetric with for-users section below
- suggest exploring contributor agreement so non-licensor has permission from contributors

83c39a345d small link to appendix & improve for linking, guiding back to home page 
Based on feeedback from people looking for BSD licenses and wanting to
use site as a reference.

I'm not thrilled with any distraction from flow of choices that
work for most on home page through spectrum covering range of open
source licenses without redundant ones, but obviously some people
prefer seeing everything in a table, so let them find it, accommodate
use as reference and people whose learning style involes poring
over a reference rather than being guided.
