Yes, because Snap doesn't support different repositories easily and everything atm is based on Ubuntu base-images. Also the license is GPL+CLA allowing Canonical to relicense it under a proprietary license. Furthermore they require AppArmore for some features which some distros can't use (it isn't part of the mainline kernel AFAIK).
- jhasse 8y agoOkay I was wrong: AppArmor is part of the mainline Linux kernel. I think it were some Ubuntu-specific patches then which were required for some of the sandbox features. I will try to find where I read it again.
- privateSFacct 8y agoThanks for the follow-up and details - I wasn't aware of all this.
