Description Chris Murphy 2019-11-25 00:02:51 UTC
Created attachment 1639322 [details]
gnome-software --verbose output

Description of problem:

GNOME Software is showing at least one application with a proprietary license following a search, out of the box. As in, the user has not opted into non-free software of any kind, has not opted into 3rd party repos.


Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-software-3.34.1-6.fc31.x86_64


How reproducible:
Always


Steps to Reproduce:
1. GNOME Software > Explore > search for dropbox
2. Click on the single search result
3.

Actual results:

Version: Unknown
License: Proprietary
Source: Unknown


Expected results:

a. Proprietary software shouldn't be shown in search results in an out of the box installation; probably shouldn't be shown unless there's UI that clearly indicates I want proprietary licensed software to show up. 
b. I expect a version, and source. For sure source unknown isn't acceptable and this app shouldn't be shown without knowing the source.

Comment 1 Michael Catanzaro 2019-11-25 13:42:58 UTC
The license field is very misleading. The locally-installed software is Epiphany, GPLv3+. The license of the source code for the website itself is proprietary (same for basically every website imaginable). How to present this more clearly in GNOME Software, I'm not sure....

Comment 2 Ben Cotton 2020-11-03 15:53:25 UTC
This message is a reminder that Fedora 31 is nearing its end of life.
Fedora will stop maintaining and issuing updates for Fedora 31 on 2020-11-24.
It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer
maintained. At that time this bug will be closed as EOL if it remains open with a
Fedora 'version' of '31'.

Package Maintainer: If you wish for this bug to remain open because you
plan to fix it in a currently maintained version, simply change the 'version' 
to a later Fedora version.

Thank you for reporting this issue and we are sorry that we were not 
able to fix it before Fedora 31 is end of life. If you would still like 
to see this bug fixed and are able to reproduce it against a later version 
of Fedora, you are encouraged  change the 'version' to a later Fedora 
version prior this bug is closed as described in the policy above.

Although we aim to fix as many bugs as possible during every release's 
lifetime, sometimes those efforts are overtaken by events. Often a 
more recent Fedora release includes newer upstream software that fixes 
bugs or makes them obsolete.

Comment 3 Ben Cotton 2020-11-24 18:31:36 UTC
Fedora 31 changed to end-of-life (EOL) status on 2020-11-24. Fedora 31 is
no longer maintained, which means that it will not receive any further
security or bug fix updates. As a result we are closing this bug.

If you can reproduce this bug against a currently maintained version of
Fedora please feel free to reopen this bug against that version. If you
are unable to reopen this bug, please file a new report against the
current release. If you experience problems, please add a comment to this
bug.

Thank you for reporting this bug and we are sorry it could not be fixed.
