Chamberlain sound like dicks but to be fair, when we're talking about remotely opening doors that give access to people's houses, it seems fair enough IN PRINCIPLE for them to restrict access to the API to 'partners' and for them to have some sort of payment and maybe even approval process around who becomes a 'partner'. Obviously that sucks for open-source projects that can't afford to pay up. But it seems fair enough to put some payments or approval processes in the way here.

And why does it seem fair enough? The garage door is mine, not Chamberlain's (although that starts to be more and more debatable the farther into enshittification we go).
