snapd is returning the following information:
{
"id": "XKEcBqPM06H1Z7zGOdG5fbICuf8NWK5R",
"title": "Chromium",
"summary": "Chromium web browser, open-source version of Chrome",
...
"license": "Other Open Source",
...
}
i.e. the license is set to "Other Open Source". This field is supposed
to be a SPDX [1] formatted string, and this value is not valid (GNOME
Software defaults to proprietary if it can't decode the field). I'm
assuming this is an old value that the store used to set?
The solution is probably:
- Ask the snap authors to update their metadata to a valid field.
- Potentially check this particular value in GNOME Software and handle it (this
is not going to be upstreamable though).

Title:
Incorrect licenses listed in the GNOME Software for Snap Apps.
Status in gnome-software package in Ubuntu:
Triaged
Bug description:
I am using Chromium as an example right now. The license for
applications like Chromium are listed incorrectly in the GNOME
Software store. On the snapcraft.io site Chromium is listed as "Other
Open Source", but in the GNOME Software store it is listed as
"Proprietary".
On a side note, is there a way to filter the Snap Apps with the plug-
in as well in the GNOME Software center?
