This situation is the kind of thing that Kevin encourages you to contact
support about. He's said he doesn't want to lose anyone.
It's true that open source has made things difficult for the company, but
they also value the folks who have stood by them all this time. Please do
write to Heather.

Not even Apple is that rapacious.
I used to have a commercial licence back when I was selling stuff (although
the economics of software never made sense). Since retiring I have been
“freeloading" with the Community edition as a hobbyist, my only LC uses
being for personal use, and maintaining admin and operating software I
wrote for a not-for-profit sporting organisation, and occasionally
contributing bug reports. I can well understand the need for LC to move to
a profitable basis, and I would be happy buy a plan if it made sense for
our use, but there is no way my NFP association can afford US$1000 every
year - or even one year (we would use 3 platforms, and not even the Server
is thrown in with the desktop platforms). And a Starter Kit that means the
app would stop working when I pass on (I have been around since Hypercard
day 1) is an insult. Seems to me the hobbyist use of LC has come to an end.
A great pity, but I guess times move on.
I have greatly enjoyed being part of this (mostly) friendly and generous
community for many years.
