Bug Description

Trying gnome-software in 16.04beta, I see that any software is tagged as 'This software comes from a 3rd party and may contain non-free components'.

This is true for any software, incl . for example gnome-terminal, which is both supported and free.

License information is a key information in a FOSS system, so gnome-software would be unusable as is.
