Snowflake Native App Framework: Providers must accept terms of service to set the DISTRIBUTION property to EXTERNAL

To publish or upgrade a Snowflake Native App in a consumer account, a provider must set the DISTRIBUTION property of the application package to EXTERNAL. A provider can set this property using the CREATE APPLICATION PACKAGE or ALTER APPLICATION PACKAGE commands.

Before the change:

Before, providers could set DISTRIBUTION=EXTERNAL or create a version or patch for an application package without accepting the Provider Terms of Service.

After the change:

If a provider tries to set the DISTRIBUTION property to EXTERNAL, or if they create a version or patch for an application package where the DISTRIBUTION property has been set to EXTERNAL, they get an error message prompting them to accept the terms. The action they took with the command does not complete.
