I am encountering the same Issue (OJS 3.2.1-1; bilingual journal). According to the database, everythin seems to be in order:
select * from publication_settings where setting_name like "%lic%" limit 3;
+----------------+--------+--------------+-----------------------------------------------+
| publication_id | locale | setting_name | setting_value |
+----------------+--------+--------------+-----------------------------------------------+

| 4 | | licenseURL | http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/4.0 |
+----------------+--------+--------------+-----------------------------------------------+
Is there any solution yet (that preferably does not involve changing the articles or their metadata)?
Thanks in advance!
