Question: The tags in the manifet file

We mark the proprietary apps as proprietay with tags in manifest files.

For example:

• com.getpostman.Postman/com.getpostman.Postman.yaml at master · flathub/com.getpostman.Postman · GitHub

Flathub list some ass proprietay but shows them as Special License?

For example:

• https://flathub.org/en/apps/org.hdfgroup.HDFCompass

Do we also need to mark them as special?

Using tags in the Flatpak manifest is not needed. It was never used for anything substantial, not used for anything currently and doesn’t have any effect. The licence in the Metainfo is the ultimate truth.

It’s kept in flatpak-builder as a legacy artifact for backwards compat.
