In libappstream, all symbols are public except for the ones in *-private.h headers where GCC symbol visibility is changed explicitly. Some of the symbols even in there are however exported...

Jup, I told @aleixpol that story already. The problem is that the specification from the very start mentioned "user permissive licenses" implying that all permissive licenses are acceptable, while also...

Yes, I think that's sensible - if `MIT` is permitted, people may want the no-attribution `MIT-0` as well, and since that one's basically `MIT` with one restriction removed, it should...

@hughsie From looking at the patch above, it looks like libappstream also accepts BSL-1.0 as valid. I think that's fair game as the Boost License is basically a "public domain"...

+1 in general, but @hughsie has the last word. One thing that leaves me puzzled here is that I experience this bug when running GNOME Software on GNOME Shell (no...

@kalev The AppStream spec is very explicit about icon sizes (there are rules that must be followed), but for screenshots there are only recommendations for apps and the software center...

Just out of curiosity, what does GIMP actually need appstream-glib for? Does it actually have to read AppStream metadata somewhere, and if so, why?
