      I installed UBports a few days ago and was surprised to see that the installer itself was identified by Ubuntu as proprietary software. Is this really the case, or was it misidentified as proprietary?

        And apt show ubports-installer give also "License: GPL-3.0" as result.

          If you are talking about the snap, it is misidentified in the snap store.
          When the uploader does not choose a license (i.e. leaves the selection blank) it shows as proprietary.

            @libremax said in UBports installer is listed as proprietary software:

            GPL-3.0

            GNU GPL-3.0 isn't proprietary, it is open source:
            https://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl-3.0.en.html

              @Capsia Yes, but I don't think anyone's written GPL-3.0 is a proprietary license, so...

                @libremax oh... sorry, I've read two posts together as if it was only one 😉

                I can confirm that the installer is marked as GPL also on snap (Ubuntu 20.04)

                EDIT:

                found where the package is marked as proprietary:

                1. Download the deb package from https://ubuntu-touch.io/it_IT/get-ut
                2. Open it with Ubuntu Software
