> Nicolas Tomb used a proprietary license for at least some of his snaps. For example, the 2048buntu snap was submitted as proprietary. The game in question, 2048, uses a MIT license

No! MIT is not a proprietary license!

The article doesn’t say it is. The snap uses a proprietary license which is possible since the game on which the snap is based uses MIT - which allows redistribution under a proprietary license.

I don’t think that’s what they’re saying. The developer repackaged the MIT licensed game with the miner under his own, proprietary, license
