I don't know. Shouldn't it be up to Microsoft whether my copy of Windows reports back all of my personal data? Shouldn't it be up to Dell whether my computer can only boot Microsoft operating systems?

What does that have to do with software that is financed by ads?

Why don’t you just install GIMP instead of using Photopea?

Exactly. Did you know that leaving the room during a TV commercial break is theft of service - or so argued TV channel companies in court once?

Uhm, okey. But how is that related to Photopea? Are you arguing that copyright laws are void for software that display ads?
