We are in the process to get some definitions for license updates via snapcraft. Trying to limit the discussion to specific points, there will be separated threads summarizing the ideas/plans for licenses per revision/per snap and handling custom licenses (@roadmr is on that).
Meanwhile we want to also confirm and check if we can move on with the license
field support in snapcraft. I think the field name is already settled, so we would need snapcraft to start allowing (and validating it to avoid pushing a revision with an invalid license value?) and the reviewer-tools to consider it a valid field too.
@sergiusens, @jdstrand, do you see any blockers? Store-side we wouldn’t start extracting it until we have a decision on the per revision/snap license discussion, but it would be great to know the snapcraft bits are in the roadmap and that could be available in the short term.
