Interesting, but why wait until now to start enforcing this. (7 years apparently...)

Seems like all it's going to do is create disdain from the community.

Creative Tools got bought by a large company called NTI Group in march 2024...they're definitely the ones pushing for this sudden licence enforcement

🤣 "Everyone uses this thing... it must be possible to monetize that somehow!"

I'd really like to hear their "underpants gnome" business plan for how that's going to work.
