License clarity

Currently, you only see the name of the license(s) when you browse an item. However, if the person downloading the file doesn't know jack about licenses... It would be good to link to them I think. Or link to a page which teaches a bit about free licenses (maybe links to freedomdefined.org) and then to the individual licenses? Also, it would be *very* useful if OGA automatically created and provided for download: text files that contain a copyright note (see below, only if it's not cc0/pd) and the full license text (or at least a summary plus link to full text) of the license. (C) Copyright yearOfSubmission name For cc0/pd stuff the name still should be added Oh, and a link to the submission on OpenGameArt would make sense - this way the source can always be found again double-sure :) The license file should be of the name of the submitted file plus "license" plus ".txt" or, if there are multiple files, it should have the name of either the submission or the first submitted file plus "license" plus ".txt" and all files to which the license applies should be listed inside the file. Hope this is not too much wishes at once ^^
