- This page has existed long before GitHub was owned by Microsoft, so that's not really a meaningful claim
- My reading of the patent stuff is that the licenses that mention them disallow the authors from patenting the software, but I agree that that's not super clear from the page itself
- Permissive is the established term for such a license, I don't know what else you'd call it that isn't offensive
