  • there is plenty open source software, that you can buy. There are many modes:

    • you buy the support (redhead)
    • you buy the long-term-support (ubuntu)
    • you pay for backports to old releases (keycloak iirc)
    • there is a open source version, and you can pay for enterprise features and hosting (gitlab)
    • there is an open source version, and you pay for customization (star office, iirc)

    and my personal favorit:

    • you pay a random developer to submit pullrequests for bugs that are relevant to you





  • Fraud is still fraud, even if they call it something else.

    The consumer was led to believe, they could access the media for a long time. The time was abruptly cut short. The consumer did not get what they were led to believe. It’s fraud.

    It’s like every other (consumer-)fraud before: they can write in the fine print whatever they want.


    I am not saying that this argument will definitely hold up in court. I just want to point out, that it’s not so clear-cut as you are presenting it.
