Stumbled upon this bug report and I'm not sure how to respond to it;
and whether it relates to
https://pagure.io/fedora-workstation/issue/108
It's really an entirely separate issue. Nothing in #108 should be taken
to indicate the WG has approved advertisement banners recommending
proprietary software applications. (It hasn't.) I think we have a
consensus that we want it to be easy for users to find software that
they are searching for (so it would be nice if a user searching for
Dropbox finds Dropbox), but actively advertising proprietary software
seems much more controversial. It's unclear to me what the benefit of
doing this is.
It looks like these banners are curated upstream [1] and added in [2],
so it's nothing to do with Flathub. I see Slack there too. When
displayed in GNOME Software, the Slack logo is programatically overlaid
onto the advertisement banner, which I assume we did not get permission
from Slack to do. Seems this doesn't happen for the Dropbox banner.
These are new in F31 btw, so older Fedoras are not affected.
