[Christian :Biesinger (don't email me, ping me on IRC)]

so, why's this a bug? The page exists twice intentionally so that both the US spelling and the UK spelling works.

Well, imho, the best thing would be to have the page available as about:license and about:licence, but still only show it once in the list of available about: pages.
I find it quite confusing to have the same thing listed twice only to accomodate spelling differences (you might put in "about:licenza" as well, on the same grounds).
Just my 2c...

It would be nice to have it listed just once; however, I suspect the list is generated from the internal data structure which has it twice.

I don't see this as high priority at all. about:about is not really user-facing. If someone can come up with a cool style rule which automatically hides the right thing, that would be fine.

Yeah, that's intentional - there are simply two ways to spell this, depending on your location relative to the Atlantic Ocean :-)
