fc2abb4b6f Reword usage note about recommended notices 
The previous wording was a little awkward.
This commit changes it to be a little more explicit and hopefully clearer.

Update link to .NET Core license file 
It appears the .NET Core repos were consolidated at some point so the current link is no longer valid.

BSD-4-Clause tweaks 
Following up on #669 

- hidden is not needed as it is the default
- shorten description, don't refer to "4th clause" as the advertising clause is actually the 3rd clause

(c) notice and instruction tweaks 
Make consistent with BSD-2- and 3-Clause. Don't encourage people to add email without thinking.

Someone choosing the license shouldn't remove the license text or disclaimer, or they won't be offering the license at all or in a way that makes sense. :)
