I think practically all the problems with Windows will go away with one simple change. Do not ever reboot a computer without a user's consent. Any feature that requires automatic reboot should be opt-in. However, this exposes the rea

I think dual licensing AGPLv3 (or above) is the simplest approach. Include a separate paid (preferably straightforward) license and be done. Make it easy for people to pay you and make it easier to get refunds for any reason. Another option

I would be OK with it if the Wi Fi only non cellular version came with GPS but once again GPS is limited to cellular only. Is there any reason to do this besides price discrimination?
