User-Agent:       Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux x86_64; ro; rv:1.9.1.3) Gecko/20090915 Ubuntu/9.10 (karmic) Firefox/3.5.3
Build Identifier: Mozilla/3.5.3

The add-on's license should be displayed on even not logged in users and the source code link, too.

This could attract contributors.

Reproducible: Always

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Check not to be logged in
2. Go to experimental add-on page
Actual Results:  
No license or source code link displayed.

Expected Results:  
License and source code link in main description, under version, work with Firefox, developer.
I can't see either the license or source code link in your add-on, even when logged in. Looking at the file list, I don't see that a license has been defined. The old link was https://addons.mozilla.org/ro/firefox/addon/14296/.

I changed it to an add-on where you can confirm that the View Source link disappears when logged out, and you can confirm that the license information appears fine regardless of being logged in or out.

Removing the source link for anonymous users is probably intentional, but it'd be good to know why this is.

We thought it made the site more complex for new (read: not logged-in) users.  Clearly this was a while ago and the site has become more complex in other areas anyway.
