Hi i think i found the bug but i need some help building software-center.
In applications.py in the folder db there is this line:
if self.raw_price:
return PkgStates.NEEDS_PURCHASE
this handles the case where there isn't a raw price (hence some apps appear
free)
but raw
This seems to -still- be an issue on 14.04 with applications such as
Nitro Tasks and Steam... There hasn't been any discussion in quite some
time so I figured I'd make note about 14.04 in particular. It sure is a
confusing task when a new Ubuntu convert fires it up and realizes they
have to set up
@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

This is not fixed in Ubuntu 12.04 and Gigalomania (as original bug-reporter
said).
The source code of this game is freely available - so it's Free (as in freedom,
not money) Software, licensed under GPL v2.

I think the whole software center should make more clear the distinction
between Free Software (as in free speech), Free software (as in free beer,
freeware) and commercial software with a price.
And when installing freeware software that requires sign on, it should alert
that is just for
This bug has a lot of duplicates, so the effect of this bug is fairly
noticeable to several users. Still present in 13.04
@jpugh Login to verify subscription on a free commercial app does
not make sense. It is also poorly aligned with the general F/OSS policy.
If this behaviour is something
The Software Centre should be context-sensitive, so when you're looking
at an app where price == 0.00, the option is to 'Install' with the price
text shown as 'Free', and if price 0.00, the option is to 'Buy', with
the price text will be shown as the price.

@radko-dinev that is expected behavior. Nitro is a $0 app that is a
proprietary license. It requires a $0 subscription hence the need to
authenticate the access to the app.

@jpugh My point is you don't buy free things so the Buy... caption is
misleading in conjunction with Free.

Well, in non-english, there is yet another related issue, the ambiguity
free/gratis does not nessessrly exist, the current situation probably
enforces this ambiguity on other languages! I think a 0.00$ is ok; or
Gratis.

The Nitro app shows Free and there's a Buy... button that takes me
to sign in the payment service. So I kinda did a $0.00 purchase. Why was
that and is that expected behavior? IMHO not the best UX and quite
confusing even for a power user.

@cassidyjames you and @stolowski have valid points. I think there needs
to be delineation of free to access apps vs go thru buy process
apps. For instance, apps in the paid applications/commercial status do
require one to go through the buy process to validate a subscription
whereas other apps

This also affects application lens, as some apps display 'Buy Free'

GetAppDetails() call returns price = Free and raw_price = 0.00. For

Pawel, I disagree. I think it makes more sense to have the free apps
simply be listed as Free then as $0. This is pretty standard
convention in other app distribution models. However, they shouldn't
say, Buy Free because that just doesn't make sense.
