Public bug reported: The Ubuntu software center lists GNU Radio as "proprietary". It's actually GPLv3.
Discovered by: https://mobile.twitter.com/csete/status/1259855223595700230 I assume this is a packaging bug, and not a Software Center bug. I'm the project maintainer, I would know if our software wasn't FOSS :) Also, this package is pretty much 100% debian-copied, and that alone is a strong indication it's Free Software. 1) Affected release 20.04 focal, others not tested 2) package version 3.8.1.0 3) Expected GNU Radio is displayed as GPLv3, which it is 4) What happened instead GNU Radio displayed as "proprietary" software, which it isn't. ** Affects: gnuradio (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Attachment added: "Screenshot (but for GQRX, which uses GNU Radio)." https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1878021/+attachment/5369895/+files/EXvmXBzXkAI09XL.jpg -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu ham developers, which is subscribed to gnuradio in Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1878021 Title: Software Center Incorrectly lists GNU Radio as "proprietary" (actually GPLv3) Status in gnuradio package in Ubuntu: New Bug description: The Ubuntu software center lists GNU Radio as "proprietary".
