> Everyone knows that a lifetime license only lasts for a limited period
One of the more baffling statements I've read online this year.
This is actually why we have contracts. People say one thing, a few years pass, and they change their mind and start calling you a greedy tightwad for not giving them more money when they decide that they should have more money from you.
- bowsamic 4y agoIt's a universally agreed upon social norm
- civilized 4y agoI cannot believe that you can say this with a straight face.
- counttheforks 4y agoI disagree, so no, it's not. You shouldn't pretend that your own opinion is fact.
- luma 4y agoThe meaning of "lifetime" is an agreed-upon term. If this developer decides that the word means something different, that's not what the buyer has agreed upon based on the wording of the license being sold. If you don't actually want to support something until you die, then don't offer lifetime licenses. If you do offer that license, don't act surprised when your users interpret that with the common and dictionary definition of that word.
- pessimizer 4y agoIt's literally impossible to find somebody to argue with about a "universally agreed upon social norm" because everyone agrees about them. How can you be in the situation you're in?
