Sorry this wasn't clear in the spec. Like the rest of System Settings, the "Licenses" screen is for meeting legal requirements for the operating system, not for third-party apps. If apps need to show license info, they need to do that in their own UI.

We do show lists of apps in some places in System Settings, but that is when the use case involves the whole device. For example, you want to know if anything on your phone is using location data; some of those things are apps. Or you want to know what is taking up storage space; some of that space is taken by apps.

Spec updated. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/AboutThisDevice?action=diff&rev2=20&rev1=19>
