As an aside, the Flathub package is another incredible example of how much volunteer labor Zoom benefits from, but neither takes advantage of internally or passes along back to their users. I guess they would rather continue having to maintain iffy support for 7 distributions than make a Flatpak release official which would cover them all…and make updates automatic.
It is incredible that their all still companies which try to support specific Linux distributions. YOU SHALL NOT! And it was never an acceptable or useful practice. Release the source or at least the binaries and allow redistribution. But how? Put the necessary information into the usual README.txt (e.g. dependencies) and LICENSE.txt (e.g. copyright ACME, redistribution allowed). Thank you :)
In addition you can - but don't must - maintain a Flatpak for all distributions.
PS: Even Valve did that mistake and fixed it quickly - many years ago. Look at your ~/.steam you will find there a file which allows redistribution.
