It's not my problem that they've settled on a revenue model that isn't in line with what I'm prepared to do.

If it was just software they sold it would still exist. It's only a saas and abusive license.verififcation that means if they go out of business they remove all benefits from previously paid amounts, and that's not in my interest either.
