screenshot of propietary software banner

Gnome Software is showing non-FLOSS software in a very prominent way: first screen, big colourful banner under Featured Applications.

Its mostly likely that this is b/c I have enabled the "flathub.org" flatpak repo and so its not really Fedora's fault per se.  But even so, surely Gnome Software should actively only Free/Open Source Software?  (even if it makes it possible to search for and install proprietary software).

It's not coming from Flathub. I discovered: https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/gnome-software/issues/749

Na, not if you installed a repo with nonfree software in it.
