IMHO, the license matters at earliest when you're downloading (so not on 
the front page), and probably only when you're making changes (the 
"Developer" or "Contributor" pages). The important thing is to let 
people know that the product is open source - that they are free to 
modify and redistribute it. The actual license only matters at the point 
where you want to do that.

Cheers,
Dave.
