Created attachment 1411791 [details]
screenshot 3rd party message

Description of problem:
Starting in Fedora 28, Gnome Software is offering to enable third-party repositories.
There is no information provided about 
 - what that/those repositorie(s) are (COPR, flathub, rpmfusion, negativo, ...???)
 - who the owners are
 - where they are hosted
 - what licenses are used

The actual bug is that the dialog offers to "Find out more ..." which redirects to https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Proprietary_software 

That's not helpful - the information should provide specifics about the third-party repo, not a general article about proprietary software

Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):
gnome-software 3.28.0

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Install what will be Fedora 28
2. Open Gnome Software
3.

Actual results:
See screenshot: https://pasteboard.co/Hd5X9zv.png


Expected results:
Explain what's going on here and link to relevant and specific information


Additional info:

Comment 1 Kalev Lember 2018-04-13 15:53:14 UTC

Should be fixed in 3.28.1 that points to a new Wiki page explaining the third party repositories.
