Thank you for doing this work.

> Please note that these are not rejected licenses.

This is a very important point that should be made explicitly on the
page.  My objections to listing rejected licenses do not apply to a list
such as this, which talks about licenses that have not been approved
for a variety of reasons, of which official rejection must surely be the
rarest.

Summaries would be fine.  I don't think official positions have much
utility.
