And your AC license has the same issue. If you build your business around such AC software, and AC does something nasty to you like pollute your water supply or infringe your patents, and you sue over that harm, you lose the right to use the AC software in your business. It is a Trojan Horse license in that sense. See.also my comments on this starting in 2015: https://github.com/Automattic/... [github.com]
