Exactly. So this should be reported as a bug in the bug tracker against
Trisquel 8.
Ah, I see that's already been done: https://trisquel.info/en/issues/23918
So, 'nuff said. Thanks for reporting this!

The issue is not whether a program can be used to install proprietary

It works (see screenshot). Spotify and other proprietary software are also
recommended in Gnome Software Center (see other screenshot). I reported the
latter as a licensing issue

Wut. Screenshot?
One only needs to install snapd, which is in the repos, and then install the
snap. That’s it. Installing anything proprietary has never been easier than
this. There’s Skype a few commands away. Not quite loke one would expect
from a free libre distro.
And yes, it’s T8. I swear, untinkered.

If your copy of SNAP really came from Trisquel 8, and you manage to
install Spotify by doing `snap install spotify' without needing to add
any other repository/store/whatever, then this installation of Spotify
*is* a bug. The

I periodically clear out linux-headers because they seem to pile up and fill
up my root volume. This leads to me getting disk space errors. I have a
nice command that wipes out all prior headers except for the one currently
being used.
I took the opportunity to do a Trisquel 8 upgrade on a new laptop I
received from work. It is a Dell Latitude E5570. I originally installed
Trisquel 7 after adding in a new internal wifi adapter. Knowing that it
worked well with that version of the OS, I decided to go ahead and run
Snap was the bane of my existence on Ubuntu 16.04. I couldn't figure out a
way to disable it, and Software includes Snap packages (without an option to
turn them off), so any time I tried to find a program that way I'd be
inundated with proprietary Snap packages.
Why does it point to Skype and Spotify, then?
Obviously, if snap is available in Trisquel 8, then it'll point to a place
managed by the Trisquel project and subject to all of the same policy
criteria:

Hi all.
Recently I installed snapd on my T7 machine. I was just curious.
I could install LibreOffice 6 without a hassle, and that was fine...
But, then I started looking at snapd docs and words like "store" instead of
"repository" began to lit my screen... and I thought that it could be a
