[Bug 630731] Re: Missing filter : free software only

[Vadim Rutkovsky]

Several suggestions on design for this switch.
1) We should add two switches here 'Free software' (zero-cost) and 'Open Source software'
2) In this case, we should slightly rename the menu item text - 'All software', 'Free Software only', 'Open Source software only' and 'Canonical-maintanied software only'. This wording and order will give the idea of which category is now selected
3) As far as I rememeber this will be much more easier to see in GTK3 version, so this should not really be a severe problem.

Any thoughts?
