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.

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.

Probably a few more words should be added to the xGPLv3s about their
stronger patent terms.

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.

The GPL v3 is an improvement over v2 fixing several issues and
increasing compatibility with other free software licenses. As such
there is no reason to feature v2 prominently rather than v3. See
http://www.gnu.org/licenses/rms-why-gplv3.en.html for more rationale.

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".

From Section 10:

> propagate that work, subject to this License.
Sublicensing is technically forbidden, but the copyleft makes the ability to sublicense irrelevant.
