Description

Instead of e.g. "GNU General Public License v3+", it should be "GPLv3+".

As part of this, we should implement [the TODO in the statbox code](https://github.com/imagej/imagej.github.io/blob/287fd1a9f888d78f00162ebec29d724521593725/_includes/layout/statbox#L251) to read the `license.licenseName` (and perhaps `license.projectName` and `license.copyrightOwners`, too?) out of the POM. This would give us standard codes from which to derive abbreviated license labels. (Trying to derive it from what people write in `` is likely to drive us mad because people can and do write whatever they want there.)

Research direction

Start in _includes/layout/statbox at the linked TODO and inspect how license labels are currently assembled. Check how the statbox can read license.licenseName, and possibly license.projectName and license.copyrightOwners, from the POM. Done means standard license names produce abbreviated labels such as GPLv3+ without relying on arbitrary text.
