Sheesh, FOSS licenses really are the only force in the universe that can stop this nonsense.

I remember shelling out for Substance indie licenses thinking it would be a good investment. Shortly after they're:

  • part of the "adobe family" (yaaay! /s)
  • Not gonna make it subscription only, c'mon guys. It's ok.
  • No seriously, we hear you, you'll have options! Definitely!
  • Newsletter: Ok we're subscription only, "Get your keys for the super out of date version because we're just deleting it from human history now."
  • SaaS cloud only and you're gonna like it, peasant.

Never trusting private software like that ever again.
