On a related note, the store supposedly allows specifying a custom SPDX
expression, so I tried the following for chromium, but it failed with a
"Error: Invalid syntax" message:
(BSD-3-Clause AND MIT AND LGPL-2.0-only AND LGPL-2.1-only AND MS-PL AND
(MPL-1.1 OR GPL-2.0+ OR LGPL-2.1+) AND
I confirm that now Chromium snap is listed as "free" in the Software
Center. However Chroimum "source: local" is still proprietary -

Also, Chromium was one example of such a bug. I see many MIT or GPL3
licencesed software labeled as proprietary in the Software
I updated the chromium license to BSD-3-Clause (see
https://cs.chromium.org/chromium/src/LICENSE).
The snapcraft dashboard allows selecting multiple licenses, but it says

Non-snaps are often labeled incorrectly in the Software Store. MIT or
GPL3 licenses are labeled as "proprietary" in the Software Center. To
test install Ulauncher (GPL3) or Stacer (MIT), to name 2 random ones.

proprietary snaps out
I'll ask the store people to do a search for snaps with this license,
but also comment here if you know of other snaps that have the same
