I found many open source applications shown as proprietary in the Ubuntu snap store, such as GNUCash, Synaptic, Thunderbird, Firefox, Kodi, Gufw...
From my quick investigation:
- the error seems to be related only to deb applications
- snap versions are shown correctly as open source (look at snap vs deb versions of Firefox)
- applications with switchable snap/deb channels (such ad Telegram, GIMP, Krita) are always shown as open source
The problem seems related to those applications available only as deb, that does not have a snap counterpart
