The “app store” model they are defining will encompass some Linux distribution repositories, and will be used to regulate FOSS software distributed through those channels. This is not just about commercial app stores (though it should be limited to those).
Hobby software should not be subject to regulation. Nobody will write FOSS if they have to pay a lawyer or worry about fines, compliance, and such. (Actually some will continue to write it, but will move underground.)
