My guess? They use an agency to service their website and made the license in PDF so the org can change it without incurring additional cost of an update.

To OPs point, a .TXT would work just as well.

[bardworx]

Orgs place a lot of value on control. A TXT, even if better, would be a hard sell. Especially in a 501(c), where optics matter and they are targeting a demographic that usually prefers PDFs.

I think you probably meant to write "can't change it without".

[bardworx]

I was alluding that the Org has the ability to re-upload the pdf in a shared resource without the need of a developer.

Vs making the license file a static page that would incur billable hours to update.

I'm sure you can upload HTML files in shared resources as well. Or not?
