It all depends on the licensing model and way of verifying licenses. If the bineries wherent something that needs to be protected (like microsoft does it with windows) one could package them in all maner of formats. My guess (and hop for not having online drm) would be to have drm free versions that can be downloaded once bought.
As rpm user i would welcome a format like fletpak so i dont have to fiddle with deb packe unpacking.
