The ToS require You to provide them with legal rights in section D.5. By defining a term, we have lots of space to remove any ambiguity about what that means. For example, it clearly covers visitors regardless of whether they have a GitHub account.
I've replaced most instances of “users” with the new term, leaving out only those which referred to all users (You and Other Users). We don't formally define that “Users”, but one new term seemed sufficient for this commit ;).
In lines I touch, I've also title-cased other terms (e.g. “you” → “You”). If we have a formally-defined term available, I don't see why we would prefer the generic term to the formal term. I expect the previous lowercase forms were accidental, but if any were intentional let me know and I'll revert those changes.
This pull request is against #1, but I can rebase it against master if that's more convenient.
Spun off from #54 at @mirabilos' request.
