Bug Description

The Ubuntu software center lists GNU Radio as "proprietary". It's actually GPLv3.

Discovered by:

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.
