Why the heck did you buy so many licenses? You could save some serious money by just buying one, since each license is, ironically, for up to five computers.Three Windows licenses, two Windows 11 Home, and a Windows 10.

Three belong to the rest of my family but they rely on me to maintain them, and as such they’re considered mine. And I’m not using the same license for.

StackExchange when somebody asks about closed-source licenses:

Open source licenses are just cooler

Open source licenses are just cooler
Nobody cares about closed/open source software, they care about f u n c t i o n a l i t y.The Server-Side Public License prevents big companies from turning open source software into a paid SAAS. Sounds important, right?

Most computer users prefer if their software is free (open source) than only has a subscription that costs €100 a month (closed source).
Ik this isn't the definition of open source or closed source but this is a side effect of the licences.
