Because there appears to have been some confusion, judging from
private emails, let me be explicit that this is exactly the same list
currently described as "License [sic] that are popular and widely used
or with strong communities." No changes, editorial or otherwise, have
been made except to change the category name into a complete sentence.

Do NOT suggest changes to this list at this time. It is not perfect,
but it is long-settled, and will not be revised until many months
(more likely years) of work have been done.
