I think this is in general a good idea. When we merge Advocacy into the main
site it will be less unclear; then the readers will be able to see the
"license" link on the main page.

We could also provide a FAQ regarding what this means for pricing &
distribution. However, this FAQ would have to end every paragraph with
"consult your attorney," we can't be seen (at least in the US) to be giving
legal advice.
