Bug Description

When you hover over the project's name in the task list, Launchpad shows a tooltip with the text "The project's license has not been specified".

I take it this is not a code bug per se, but that it should be fixed by specifying the project's license, for each affected project.

Examples:
Bug #616683 (currenmtly assigned to malone, although the display label is "Launchpad Bugs")
Bug #617225 (launchpad, displays as "Launchpad itself")

As far as I can tell, all the bugs in e.g. https://bugs.launchpad.net/launchpad exhibit this behavior.

Of course, now that this bug has tasks for those projects, it is also an excellent example and test case.

My recollection is that a task can (or used to be possible to) also be assigned to the Ubuntu project without a package, and that this also triggers this behavior, but I have been unable to quickly locate any example of such a bug.

This tooltip is generated by a project formatter. It was adding hoping that someone would add a license, but the rules are bad. We are considering removing this presentation in conjunction with a global update to all projects without a license.

FWIW bug #331222 is a bug which is marked as being in Ubuntu itself.
