[Bug 419295] Re: "Price: Free" is redundant when user is navigating in the "Get Free Software" section

[mac_v]

** Summary changed:

- "Price: Free" in every software description sounds cheesy and is redundant!
+ "Price: Free" is redundant when user is navigating in the "Get Free Software" section

** Description changed:

  Binary package hint: software-store
  
- Almost every software has a "Price: Free" in the description,
+ Though the "Price: Free" in software description makes sense when user
+ is navigating in a parent "Get Software" item
  
- What's the use if it is going to be the same for the majority [99.9%] ? 
- Why does the user have to be notified for every single software?
- Wouldnt it lead to the user not noticing the price for the ones which have one?
+ It is redundant to show "Price: Free" in every software description,
+ when user is navigating the "Get Free Software" section.
  
- The left pane is totally empty and is a waste of space.
- A better option is to have the mention of the software as free only in the home page, 
- Saying "Majority of the software are free . If a software is non-free , its price will be listed in the description"
- [the words may be improved but its just to show the idea.]
- 
- And showing the price in bold *only* for non-free software is a better
- option.
- 
- attaching a mockup
+ Why does the user have to be notified,in every software description,
+ while navigating in a section clearly marked as "Free"?
