Comment 7 for bug 442882

In v1, the Center doesn't show software in third-party repositories at all. In v2 it will, though, and your scenario is a useful contribution to the design of that feature. As I said, "Get Software" will likely become a section with "Free Software" and "Paid Software" subsections, but I was supposing that wouldn't happen until v3. The example of a private repository of site-licensed software, though, shows that we'd need to have subsections for v2. Something like:
    Get Software
    |– Free Software
    |– MyExample Repository
    '– Medibuntu Repository
That way, we wouldn't be incorrectly assuming any particular non-ubuntu.com repository was "free software". I've added a reminder to the spec about this. <https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SoftwareCenter?action=diff&rev2=218&rev1=217> Thanks!

That leaves the suggestion of changing "Get Software" to "Available Software". I did consider that wording early in the design process, but I thought "available" was a little too vague -- people might misconstrue "available" as "available on my computer". That said, I plan to organize user testing on the navigation in general soon, and if it shows the wording needs changing, we'll try "Available".
