This is a big set of corrections, but I think worth making to avoid obscuring the underlying licenses. Summary of license metadata changes relative to
SPDX Changes
License File Only Changes

Meant to be considered after #216
I realized that some of the descriptions I added were under the wrong license. Specifically, some of the newer UR models have a permissive but non-standard license. #203
This sort of detail can be difficult to catch on manual inspection, so I am proposing that license metadata be incorporated into the description registry itself, so that 1) the pointed-to license file's existence can be enforced and 2) it is easier to incorporate an automated checker in the future.
Putting this data in the registry means the readme tables can be synthesized from the registry, avoiding sorting errors and typos. Some of my additions introduced these errrors. It also let's us directly surface a link to the pointed-to LICENSE file, so consumers can more easily verify.
