Actually, I (mildly) object to the change you just made; the -license suffix rule for being Free or Open Source was very straighforward. I am not objecting to board's call that it not be in the default; the point of the default is that people not be unreasonably surprised. But if the new name stands, please fix the documentation to explain that licenses get a -license suffix if they are non-Free/Open or are on a special list of license that board finds likely to be problematic even for people who generally find Open/Free licenses ok.
