Flathub is a third-party repository which provides software for various
Linux distributions. It doesn't shape what software it carries around what
Fedora does not. It fundamentally exists to solve a problem with Linux app
distribution to which our policies around licensing, software freedom, and
etc., are incidental. This makes it a different case.
