On the generator, the text for the license option reads "License used does NOT restrict Non-Commercial use". An open source license should never restrict non-commercial use. It could be concluded that non-commercial use is not allowed by not checking the box. Take out the NOT and we get "License used does restrict Non-Commercial use" which is not the intention of an open source license. Also, someone who is not familiar with the license might come to the conclusion that commercial use is OK, since the generator is only concerned with non-commercial use. This is the opposite of what the license is trying to do.
The license checkoff on the generator should read "License used allows for commercial use". By not checking the box we can conclude that "License used does not allow for commercial use".

Makes sense, I made this generator pretty quickly and didn't really think about it - I think I'm going to rewrite this anyway in something more modern than jQuery, I'll do that then!
