Maybe a link to the license steward's FAQ, if any (perhaps with some

Excellent point; added to the mockup.
This somehow tipped it over the edge as too information-rich for me, so I
tried out another mockup, posted here for your comments:

Oh, the alternate sample looks much cleaner to me. Sub-sections and
simple lists make it readable and it's helpfully organized.
I'm wondering though about the intended links to home and FAQ pages. I'm
not sure the license homepage is different than what counts as FAQ, it
seems they are different only for MPL and GPL. A license homepage is
already rare, and sometimes it's precisely meant as FAQ.
If the license steward doesn't have a dedicated license page (other than
the text), like EPL, the closest to a license homepage would be the
legal page I assume...[1] However, it only has other Eclipse information
and not about the license. I'm not sure it helps.
I provisionally set EPL FAQ as homepage. I must misunderstand the
intention of the homepage placeholder, in my attempt to take MPL's as
example. MPL has a rich home. :)
