Bug Description
Occasionally we'll see projects registered that have all of the available licenses selected and have found that behavior to be a bit mysterious. In conversation with a user yesterday he said he got an error message when he didn't chose any license that told him he had to select them all.
I just repeated that exercise and the error message displayed is:
"Select all licenses for this software or select Other/Proprietary or Other/Open Source."
The message needs to be reworded to avoid confusing people.
