Description

@willingc

Reorg the license sections page as discussed in #189.

 i feel like some of this would be useful above. what is we thought about re-organizing this page jonny? 

at the top we have 

## Where to store your license

### Use open permissive licenses when possible

what is instead we do something like this
## Where to store your license
keep text as is 

##Types of licenses: permissive vs copyleft 

explain inbound vs outbound restrictions here to frame the text below

### Overview of permissive licenses

### Overview of copyleft licenses (make your breakout into this section)

 ## How to chose a license 

* we suggest mit or bsd-3 for compatibilty with the scientific Python ecosystem
* scipy text as a reference 

## Following license guidelines

more about how to follow and how that impacts permissive vs copyleft (which by now it's clear how these are different). and yo've already explain inbound vs outbound permisions above so you can just have a little table even and demonstrate how the licenses are different.
