If it is a simple misunderstanding like that then why don't the company put up a page explaining the matters and quote it when asked about licensing in forums, instead of closing said forums in a little hissy fit?
- gamblor956 5y agoThey did, in the forums, in that thread. People ignored it and escalating the false claims about the license violations. When one of the forum posters tried to dox the community manager, they shut down the forum. Being reasonable only works with reasonable people. By and large, the people who rail against things they don't understand are not reasonable people.

Though it isn't a reason they stated for closing the forum.
