[Bug 864706] [NEW] Mislabelled licenses in "For Purchase" section

[Ryan Williams]

Public bug reported:

"For Purchase" section in software centre apparently defaults to showing
proprietary for the license. The problem is that both Ryzom and the Full
Circle Magazines are not proprietary. Ryzom is released mostly under
AGPLv3 and CC-BY-SA licenses (http://dev.ryzom.com/projects/ryzom/wiki),
whilst FCM is licensed under CC-BY-SA 3.0 Unported, as stated in any
issue of the magazine itself (http://fullcirclemagazine.org/).

This is not just a bug, it's a serious legal issue in misrepresenting
the license. https://secure.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/en/wiki/Copyfraud

Using Ubuntu 11.04, presumably applies to earlier versions.
