@Terrance btw I am not familiar with bug reporting on Ubuntu so if you can please do so since it affects you as well and I will mark as "affecting me too"

@Terrance Yes I don't think they intentionally labeled the licenses wrong, I think that is a bug, but I was talking about the fact that they leave proprietary snaps in the Software Center when I never asked for that. Why are they letting me choose repositories when repositories seem to not work with snaps? That's what bothers me a lot: how can I get rid of proprietary snaps from the Software Center when they come as default with the system? Removing all snaps doesn't sound like a convenient solution. Right?

@Terrance So it might be an issue with how snaps licenses are recognized by the Software Center...That could be the case as the Chromium example showcases. However, isn't Canonical kinda shooting itself in the foot with the snaps since they come as default with the Ubuntu 18.04 and they are not filtered for proprietary software? I mean I chose no proprietary when installed Ubuntu, yet the software center is full of proprietary snaps. Could this be an error on the part of Canonical, or is it something they did on purpose?

@ Terrance - hm...ok that could be one idea but I would still want to use snaps. The open source ones. Since the Software Center has the ability to detect the license, isn't there a way to filter by license? I would think that should be a must for any Open Source operating system like Ubuntu. I see the same issue with flatpak (plugin for the same Software center).

Soren A - What do you mean? It can be "proprietary" and also "open source"? I am confused....
