This change replaces the jargon of the FSF "Free (as in freedom)" slogan with a more literal and general summary of the rights that the MIT license grants, and clarifies that it's the license itself which allows the contributors to develop Godot.

Sure. I think this description better serves potential users of Godot.

Personally, I don't mind the removal of "free as in freedom" jargon, but would like a second opinion on that. If we think it's important to keep we can add it back in, in addition to the new clear description of the MIT license.
