So I think of why Ubuntu went with snaps... the issue with OSS software 
has been that one piece of software depended on one license, which used 
libraries from a separate license. Then subsequently, a dependency moved 
to a different license. and blah blah... snap became the only way to run 
software under a definite legal basis without recourse.

Seems a clear message to OSS community to sort out their varied and 
somewhat eccentric licensing.
