@grofaty:
Yes, summaries would be better, as your first two points explain well.

One thing we shouldn't overestimate (or fear) is the average user's apathy 
towards licensing.They will come to like the Software Center because it offers 
them a wealth of free (beer) programs. They would generally skip over the 
little 'GPL', 'BSDL' or 'MIT' link, but I'm pretty sure many would become 
curious at some point and ask themselves why and how they can get all these 
things for free, without advertisement or data mining.
I've already had people asking me what that 'License: Open Source' actually 
means in the current Software Center. While we're at it, I'd also recommend 
turning that one into a link with a web page explaining the concept.

It's just a nice chance to offer new users insight into the foundations
of"our community. There's no reason to miss it :)
