You are not required to rewrite everything if you exceed $1million in annual revenue. You are required to get a commercial license from them, which costs money.

That's not the same thing. And quite frankly, if you're making over $1 million in annual revenue you should be able to afford the license fee for the most important part of your company.
- rustc 2y agoThere's no guarantee that a commercial license will be available at a reasonable fee, or available at all. You'll have nothing to negotiate with because the alternative is to rewrite or shut down immediately.
- InsomniacL 2y agoIsn't that true of anything? At renewal software provider X might hike license fees for Y to an unreasonable fee, or decide you're not worth the time at all. I assume you can get a commercial license at any point, not only after you reach X revenue too?
