Title:
  The way we display license information could be more in keeping with
  the open source ethos

Status in “software-center” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: software-center

  We could use the license information to celebrate open source more.
  This could be done as a special 'badge' that the open source apps get
  to display or simply by stating that an app is Free and Open Source
  rather than just free.

  This requires a little bit of thought and discussion but I suggest
  that this information could be made to work harder and more usefully.
