Mike Linksvayer a378dbc7ff Make rules with -- eg same-license--file appear lighter in appendix table
Not needed elsewhere eg license view because actual rule is spelled out
and no distinction with other licenses with non-attenuated versions of
the rules is useful for eyeballing

Some visual cue other than .5 opacity might be more useful, eg smaller
or not filled in circle, but this is easy first cut given current sprite
setup

For reference, here is a table of every license described in the [choosealicense.com repository](https://github.com/github/choosealicense.com).
If you're here to choose a license, **[start from the home page](/)** to see a few licenses that will work for most cases.

## Legend
<p>Open source licenses grant to the public <span class="license-permissions"><span class="license-sprite"></span></span> <b>permissions</b> to do things with licensed works which copyright or other "intellectual property" laws might otherwise disallow.</p>
<p>Most open source licenses' grants of permissions are subject to compliance with <span class="license-conditions"><span class="license-sprite"></span></span> <b>conditions</b>.</p>
<p>Most open source licenses also have <span class="license-limitations"><span class="license-sprite"></span></span> <b>limitations</b> that usually disclaim warranty and liability, and sometimes expressly exclude patents or trademarks from licenses' grants.</p>
