Public bug reported:
It is now possible to see apps that were previously purchased in the
"previous purchases" section.
However, free (as in "free beer") proprietary apps are also listed as
"previsouly purchased" even though no transaction was made in the first
place.
There are 2 problems with this:
- It is semantically incorrect to qualify those apps as "previously pruchased",
which can also be confusing for the user;
- Free proprietary apps are given more visibility than free open-source apps.
Free proprietary apps should not be listed as "previously purchased".
