paying scum suckers that give you free software that dies so that you
have to purchase an upgrade that actually doesn't have the date time
bomb has been a personal vexation from me ever since the days when BPI
sold accounting software written in BASIC. Something about companies
that use drug dealers as role models...

I don't see this as conceptually much different than getting something
claiming to be java that isn't with fedora but the real thing with paid
RHEL/support.
