Package: gnome-software Version: 41.0-1 Severity: normal Dear Maintainer, hi!
I was looking, through Gnome-software, at some programs that are installed on my Debian and to my surprise I came across something a little unusual. In gnome-software when I accessed the "add-ons" option, then "codecs", I noticed that the installed codecs said that the license for that lib/package was "Private", but the origin of that package was "debian-bookworm-main ". Out of curiosity I decided to look at the "copyright" file of that lib I was looking at, through the terminal. All information obtained from the result were free licenses. The problem occurs with: libs "GStreamer", Sigil program, GnuCash, WinFF, Brasero, OpenLP, etc... The programs/libs I reported above were chosen at random in gnome-software and for all these examples the free license type was expected. In a way that made me a little worried. If a common user comes across one of these packages and sees that the licenses are private, maybe he won't download these programs... Or maybe a little worse, maybe the opposite can happen, when the user verifies that the informed license is free but actually maybe a proprietary/non-free program. :/ PS: Sorry for any grammar mistakes... I speak Portuguese. :) -- System Information: Debian Release: bookworm/sid APT prefers testing APT policy: (500, 'testing') Architecture: amd64 (x86_64) Foreign Architectures: i386 Kernel: Linux 5.14.0-2-amd64 (SMP w/12 CPU threads) Kernel taint flags: TAINT_PROPRIETARY_MODULE, TAINT_OOT_MODULE, TAINT_UNSIGNED_MODULE Locale: LANG=pt_BR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=pt_BR.UTF-8 (charmap=UTF-8), LANGUAGE not set Shell: /bin/sh linked to /usr/bin/dash Init: systemd (via /run/systemd/system) LSM: AppArmor: enabled Versions of packages gnome-software depends on: ii appstream 0.14.6-1 ii apt-config-icons 0.14.6-1 ii dconf-gsettings-backend [gsettings-backend] 0.40.0-2 ii gnome-software-common 41.0-1 ii gsettings-desktop-schemas 41.0-1 ii libappstream4 0.14.6-1 ii libatk1.0-0 2.36.0-2 ii libc6 2.32-4 ii libcairo2 1.16.0-5 ii libfwupd2 1.5.7-5 ii libgdk-pixbuf-2.0-0 2.42.6+dfsg-2 ii libglib2.0-0 2.70.0-1+b1 ii libgspell-1-2 1.8.4-1 ii libgtk-3-0 3.24.30-3 ii libgtk3-perl 0.038-1 ii libgudev-1.0-0 237-2 ii libhandy-1-0 1.4.0-1 ii libjson-glib-1.0-0 1.6.6-1 ii libmalcontent-0-0 0.10.1-1 ii libpackagekit-glib2-18 1.2.2-2 ii libpango-1.0-0 1.48.10+ds1-1 ii libpolkit-gobject-1-0 0.105-31 ii libsoup2.4-1 2.74.0-2 ii libxmlb2 0.3.2-1 ii packagekit 1.2.2-2 ii software-properties-gtk 0.96.20.2-2.1 Versions of packages gnome-software recommends: ii fwupd 1.5.7-5 Versions of packages gnome-software suggests: pn apt-config-icons-hidpi <none> pn gnome-software-plugin-flatpak <none> pn gnome-software-plugin-snap <none> -- no debconf information
