Update: Add licenses to text files and clarify OSL text.

Minor modifications to the text in the open-standard-license-1.0.
One notable change is changing "application" to "applying" because "application" can be mis-interpreted as a program (which are also called applications or app for short).
In this context the word "application" is meant to mean "applying".
Just change the word to "applying" to avoid this potential confusion.

Add more text to the protocol terminology to declare the context is in regards to computers and source code.

Add the cc-by-sa-4.0 license file.
They do not provide a downloadable copy of the license, so for now just add links.
I need to come back and fix this once I get a downloadable text file that I can legally store in the source code and transfer to others.
