Comment (by ahartford):

 From what I can see, it is expected that the translated "BSD (3-clause)"
 is not a hyperlink, and is unrelated to any mouse tracking. AboutSystem is
 trying to link the licenses to files, and there is only a "BSD (3-clause)"
 file in /boot/system/data/licenses, so it doesn't find a link to a
 localized filename and decides not to display the license as a hyperlink.
 It seems there needs to be a change such that the localized license links
 still try to point to unlocalized filenames. That, or don't translate the
 license names (it seems that not all of them are, currently). Such a
 change may warrant a new ticket.[[BR]]

 The patch needs to be updated to draw multiple underlines when the link
 text wraps. I've made local changes to draw the correct number of lines,
 but need to figure out how to get them to start/stop at the correct
 character positions.
