[Bug 968974] Re: Some free applications looks like paid applications with price 0.00 and with buy button

 

@overprescribed: "… the software catalog … should be a bastion and
showcase for apps that are free in both regards…"

Um…

There is no "should" in this regard. Remember that the target user for
Ubuntu (which includes myself) doesn't give a hoot about libre vs.
licensed. We only care that the products are cheap and that they work
without malware.

If Ubuntu starts making a noise about libre vs. licensed, it will simply
put off many LInux converts.
