The FSF seems to have updated these between [1] and [2] (good catch Mike [3]). With the <optional> tags, I've preferred their new canonical text, but this will continue to match the old HTTP form.

@wking Never mind - found a somewhat reasonable fix for the tooling - we can leave this as is. |

I've copy/pasted exactly from the license body, except for: * Some tab -> space replacements for consistent indenting. * Adjusting the version text for the -only forms. I think the version text we use is pretty strange, but I'll deal with that in follow-up work. Semantic changes due to this standardization: * GPL-3.0 gets "version." -> "version 3.". * GPL-3.0+ gets "either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later" where it previously had nothing. * GPL-3.0-or-later gets "version 3 or any later version" -> "either version 3 of the License, or (at your option) any later version". * Every license I touch gets <...> around its URL, which has been in the license templates since f6c3453 (Automated, 2016-03-30, spdx#85) and similar. * Every license I touch gets the optional HTTPS from df182a1 (GPL-3.0: Optional HTTPS for outgoing links, 2017-10-19, spdx#450) and similar. I haven't bothered adding alt/optional to support our old forms, because I'm expecting folks in the wild to be copy/pasting from the FSF license text instead of our <standardLicenseHeader>s.

The FSF seems to have bumped their outgoing links from HTTP to HTTPS between 2017-09-28 and 2017-09-30 (detail for each license in the commit messages). With this PR, I use
<alt>tags to prefer the new canonicalhttps://, but this will continue to match the oldhttp://.Spun off from github/choosealicense.com#543.
