I don’t really care about licensing for my personal use. I find the the possibility that Apps I distribute for free through the App Store will brick themselves to be totally unacceptable. I can easily see a time when I will decide I don’t want to spend the funds each year (since I’m retired). I will likely decide never update my current apps since I’d likely use the most recent update to do the update and that would cripple them.
I completely understand the rationale for the licensing agreement and think it’s clever but one should be able to create apps that will work in perpetuity. I might consider an added fee per app to retain the apps functionality but not having a solution is not going to work.
