Title:
  Mislabelled licenses in "For Purchase" section

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

Bug description:
  "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.
