Bug Description
On the latest version of GNOME Software on both Ubuntu 16.04 Beta 2 and Ubuntu GNOME 16.04 Beta 2 with GNOME 3.20 I have found something rather strange, seemingly almost all of the free software has the "nonfree" tag... Not all of it, but mostly all the software I have installed there and was installed by default (such as Firefox, the default PDF viewer, Nautilus, and other FOSS software):
nonfree_

I reported the issue upstream but this was the reply:
"This is unfortunately a downstream issue, as Ubuntu are patching in the aptd plugin. This works around some applications not having AppData files, but Ubuntu are not always shipping the newest version of upstream software which does ship an AppData file. For some apps the AppData file is not upstream, which does need fixing in the upstream project."
So this is a downstream issue...
