Previously, the logice for `Licensee` was changed to acount for GNU licenses, but this change turns it around to instead convert the GNU licenses into their base forms so that they can instead be used exactly like all of the other license expressions.

The GNU licenses (GPL, AGPL, LGPL, GFDL) use an annoying suffix format described here which means they have to be treated differently from...every other license identifier.
