Bug Description

PlainBox (and possibly other parts of lp:checkbox) uses inconsistent licenses. According to our policy we should use GPL-3 (not "or later") for all Canonical application code. PlainBox is both a library and an application but I would argue that GPL-3 is the "more correct" license until we decide to license the core as LGPL-3.
