Off topic: This is literally the first gem/package/piece of software I've seen distributed in this way that has sales tax attached to it for residents of a certain state. Is there some Michigan law pertaining to sales tax on software?

My business offers in consultancy-based software development so we are not bound by my state's sales taxes, I was just curious if Michigan has a software-specific law.

It's terrible. I'm a resident of Michigan and so I have to remit sales tax on "packaged software". The rules for what constitutes "packaged software" recently got changed to include anything downloadable. SaaS is specifically excluded, of course.
