Bug Description
Proprietary software delivered as snaps in GNOME Software is highlighted red in the software details. While it's great that we show the license for software, it's not ideal that the implication of the colours is that free=good, proprietary=bad. We should provide software and enable users to make an informed choice what they install, but not make the implication that it's a bad choice.
