Description David Nind 2025-07-22 18:44:00 UTC
On the license page, there are some occurrences of "licence" (British English spelling). License (US American spelling) should be used.

To replicate:
1. Go to More > About Koha > Licenses.
2. Search the page for "licence".
3. Note some occurrences of "licence", which is British English.
