    license-tile: Tweak description for proprietary tile
    
    In my opinion, sandboxing is our main defence against insecure or
    nefarious apps (regardless of license), and Software already has a
    separate indication of whether an app is well-sandboxed.
    
    With that in mind, adjust the second sentence to reference the absence
    of freedom zero ("The freedom to run the program as you wish, for any
    purpose") and otherwise emphasise the inability to audit the app.
