Mislabelled licenses in "For Purchase" section

[Ryan Williams]

"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.
