I'd love to see github display the chosen project license more prominently. For example if the project contains a LICENSE file that looks like the standard BSD License then display "This project uses the BSD License" on the main project page. Maybe right up near the top with the project description. For projects that have no LICENSE file then display "This project does not contain a LICENSE". To alert and encourage the owner to add one *and* explain to possible users/contributors of the project what it means to have no LICENSE file.
