Research direction

Start by reading the linked mintinstall issue #394 to recover the original requirements, then inspect the current app metadata and display paths in this repository. The work is complete when applications visibly indicate whether they are FLOSS and identify their license.

Description

https://github.com/linuxmint/mintinstall/issues/394

The instructions said to re-open that issue if it was still relevant in the current version. It is. I don't have permission to re-open it though, so I'm creating a new issue.
