Just found out, "licence" isn't really misspelled at all, it's british
english. License=verb, licence=noun. In US english they only use the
spelling "license" for both the noun and the verb *facepalm* Well, today
i learned something new..

I tried a fresh install of 14.04 in a VM and no error there.. Haven't
done it earlier though so i cant say if something has changed there.

Title:
  additional drivers tab crashes

Status in “software-properties” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  There's a crash every time I open the additional drivers tab in
  software properties. It says "searching for additional drivers" and
  then the crash happens. I can reproduce it every time I try to open
  the additional drivers tab, which means the additional drivers tab
  doesn't work at all for me.

  No drivers are shown in the list, and when running software-
  properties-gtk from the terminal I can see the following output:

  Traceback (most recent call last):
    File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/gi/overrides/GLib.py", line 634, in <lambda>
      return (lambda data: callback(*data), user_data)
    File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/gtk/SoftwarePropertiesGtk.py", line 1323, in show_drivers
      (overall_status, icon, drivers) = self.gather_device_data(self.devices[device])
    File "/usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/softwareproperties/gtk/SoftwarePropertiesGtk.py", line 1277, in gather_device_data
      description = base_string.format(base_description=description, licence=licence)
  KeyError: 'license'

  Ubuntu release:
  Description:	Ubuntu 13.10
  Release:	13.10
