official RPM considered proprietary by gnome-software #16148

@weimzh

Description

@weimzh

Prerequisites

Steps to reproduce

  1. Install latest version of Fedora
  2. Download the latest powershell rpm
  3. double-click on the rpm.

Expected behavior

GNOME-Software should not say the package is proprietary.

Actual behavior

GNOME-Software will say the package is proprietary.
Actually it's MIT-licensed, which qualifies as free software.

This confuses users, and might discourage some users from adopting powershell.

Error details

The reason for this is the license field of the official RPM says "MIT License".
It should be "MIT" instead, which is a valid SPDX License Identifier ("MIT License" is not).
