License ambiguity #448

I always forget what the various licenses are from this list:

Enter value for 'destination' (default: LICENSE):
Select a license:
   MIT
   AGPL-3.0+
   ASL
   BSD2
   BSD3
   EUPL-1.2+
   GPL-2.0+
   GPL-3.0+
   ISC
   LGPL-2.1+
   LGPL-3.0+
 > MPL

Could perhaps more details be added to clarify what these are?

For example, if I google ASL, I see some people use it to mean "Academic Software License": https://github.com/ACEsuit/ACE.jl/blob/main/ASL.md. So I almost raised an issue asking about where the Apache one is, until I found https://github.com/JuliaCI/PkgTemplates.jl/issues/90 which explained things. Could those descriptions be added back?

Cheers, Miles
