** Description changed:
- Binary package hint: software-store
+ When you see information about software that you want to install, Ubuntu
+ Software Center says whether the license is "Open source",
+ "Proprietary", or "Unknown". It does not show more detail than that
+ (e.g. GPLv2).
- When you see informations about software that you want to install,
software-store shows you only the price, but not the license.
- When you install a program, in my humble opinion, it's important to have the
license indication (GPLv2...), not only the price.
- It should be helpful not only to make others understand the nature of free
software, but also to distinguish free and open source software from software
like (just an example) Google Earth, free for non commercial use.
+ It should be helpful not only to make others understand the nature of

+ This cannot be fixed in Ubuntu Software Center until Ubuntu packages
+ themselves provide machine-readable information about their exact
+ license. For one proposal to implement this, see
+ <http://wiki.debian.org/Proposals/CopyrightFormat>.
