I'd like it to not be arbitrary and have an appeal process, but that can still completely wreck someone financially if they needed the tool in the short term. The real solution is we need to stop accepting permanent rentals for tools.

Paying for software needs to mean a permanent copy I can run locally, or I don't pay. Creating a file needs to mean I can export an open format, or I don't build with it.

Mainly agree, but defining "open format" seems problematic, and isn't always practical if you have some feature that the competition doesn't have
