Suggestion: Use SPDX instead of OSI

[dertuxmalwieder]

Even assuming that ElkArte add-ons are to be considered derivative work, the current recommendation of using OSI-approved licenses is too narrow, because the list is rather short.

I would recommend that the SPDX License List is used as a valid source instead. That would have two important improvements:

1. The list is much longer (even including the WTFPL ;-)),
2. there are unique identifiers assigned with each license, so one wouldn't have to guess anymore.

Example from the existing code:

{% when 'BSD' or 'BSD3' %}

Can you guess which "BSD license" the BSD license is?

Solvable with SPDX!

That's a very useful list .... should certainly make the changes to incorporate that. Its been some time since I wrote the Jekyll template/code for the "site", I'm almost afraid to look at it now!

So was I. The snippet I posted above will give me a nightmare tonight!
