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. Additional info: From the verbose output of gnome-software kind: webapp state: available id: epiphany-dropbox.desktop unique-id: system/*/*/webapp/epiphany-dropbox.desktop/* scope: system kudos: my-language|has-keywords|sandboxed|sandboxed-secure kudo-percentage: 65 name: Dropbox pixbuf: 0x7fcf6c3751e0 icon-kind: remote icon-prefix: /usr/share/app-info/icons/ icon-filename: /home/chris/.cache/gnome-software/icons/614312c93fbcc23293bb00765f7aa5b50f91539d-dropbox-linux.png?dl=1 match-value: 00070 summary: A free service that shares your documents easily description: Dropbox is a free service that lets you bring your photos, docs, and videos anywhere and share them easily. To use Dropbox you need to be over the age of 13. url{homepage}: http://www.dropbox.com/ license: proprietary license-is-free: no management-plugin: epiphany
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....
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 It is Fedora's policy to close all bug reports from releases that are no longer maintained.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.
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.
