Description
Would it be helpful to add some type of metadata or OSI stamp to the licenses? The list of licenses from https://spdx.org/licenses/ or https://opensource.org/licenses/alphabetical have columns to provide each license some means of showing it was [OSI Approved](https://opensource.org/licenses). This is a helpful piece of information when looking at a license.
Quick mockups:


It seems that the [trademark allows for noncommercial/community websites to use it](https://opensource.org/trademark-guidelines).
**Note:** Could additionally do a similar badge or other metadata for the [FSF license list](https://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.en.html) which is also on many lists as a column.
