Some applications require agreement to a set of terms and conditions, before the application can be downloaded. Note this must be agreed to before the snap itself (containing the licensed software) can even be downloaded.
Is there any plan to implement this in snapd? I’d expect that to look like this (not a designer).
$ snap find superprog

superprog 1.2.3.4 from ProgVendor software AG (progvendor✪) installed
Is this in the plan?
Note: I’m not interested in conversations about the legal enforceability, morality or other details of EULAs themselves. Only the technical details of whether or not snapd will implement this feature at some point.
