Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: software-center
Software Center uses the word "Free" for all the software, both in the
application itself, and in its available help.
Given the fact that there are some copyright issues like with
"ubuntu-restricted-extras" in some countries/circumstances, and also the fact
that someone may add a repository like Medibuntu with closed source
applications, I think the word "Free" should be replaced with a word like
"Available" in the application.
For example:
"Get Free Software", can become "Get Available Software", in the
application.
The sentence:
"The Ubuntu Software Center is a virtual catalog of thousands of free
applications available for Ubuntu - software to make your computer more
useful",
can become:
"The Ubuntu Software Center is a virtual catalog of thousands of
available applications for Ubuntu - software to make your computer more
useful", in the Help.
