Re:Show HN: Add license key verification to your apps by JoshTriplett on Tuesday April 28, 2020 @03:36PM (#23010899)
While that's true, you're not going to convince anyone with that statement who didn't already agree with you; it's not a productive comment, and it's not one that invites discussion or "what to do about it".

By contrast, several top comments here are pointing out how it's counterproductive to do this kind of license enforcement, and that it introduces fragility. Someone pointing that out, and then throwing in an "or you could use Open Source, where you don't have to worry about this at all, and this kind of enforcement makes that an increasingly compelling alternative", is going to get a lot more traction than just a blanket statement that will not change any minds.
