Re: RFC: Ubuntu Seeded Snaps

IMHO, Snap Store is more like an app store (like Google Play Store),
than a regular package repository (archive.ubuntu.com, a PPA or a
third party repository).
I think some ground rules and some policies are necessary, but we must
avoid burocracy and give freedom to developer, so he/she can create
what he wants. So things like licensing should weaker enforced. The
idea is: think as an app store, not a package repository.
