Yeah, it definitely should! Unfortunately it doesn't know enough information to determine this. FlatHub is working on adding this information, and once they do, Discover will be able to consume it and warn the user, or at least notify them in some way. Until that happens, there's unfortunately nothing Discover itself can do. |

For example, see attached screenshot of IntelliJ. There are several things wrong here: 1) It says this is Apache 2.0 license (IntelliJ ultimate is commercial software) 2) It relies on the packager fessing up to not being affiliated to Jetbrains in the description, rather than highlighting that fact with some kind of caution or warning (compare to its display of the snap distribution of IntelliJ, which _is_ distributed by Jetbrains s SOFTWARE/OS VERSIONS Operating System: Kubuntu 22.10 KDE Plasma Version: 5.25.5 KDE Frameworks Version: 5.98.0 Qt Version: 5.15.6 Kernel Version: 5.19.0-23-generic (64-bit) Graphics Platform: X11 Processors: 8 × Intel® Core™ i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00GHz Memory: 30.8 GiB of RAM Graphics Processor: Mesa Intel® HD Graphics 530 Manufacturer: MSI Product Name: MS-7978 System Version: 1.0
