In "Ubuntu Software" GUI to install and remove software, it says that Ibus-table has propritary license and the source is Ubuntu Bionic Main repository.



But, here, it is mentioned that: "Main is Canonical-supported free and open-source software."



Can anybody clarify this? Also, is it a necessity for the functioning of Ubuntu? Can it be removed?
