They do cover that in
https://docs.flathub.org/docs/for-app-authors/requirements#license https://docs.flathub.org/docs/for-app-authors/requirements#l... , but I don't buy it in the general case because Windows isn't synonymous with proprietary isn't synonymous with non-redistributable licenses. Sure, I doubt there's a legal way to ship Microsoft Office on flathub, but there are plenty of shareware programs that I think would be fine (though IANAL, ofc) right up to FOSS that happens to target Windows. For instance, Notepad++ is GPLv3[0] and WINE platinum rating[1]; why shouldn't it be on flathub?
