    you are correct i feel guilty every time I use it. but making my company pay for a license on every job I work on. it’s got one of the best licenses you can get for proprietary software. my only concern is it might go away and can’t last forever like open source can.

      For corporate use software I couldn’t care less. But for private use I’d never rely on closed source software that requires me to buy a usage license.

      Big issue IMO. Never touched it for that reason.

      A personal knowledge system has to be designed to last the rest of your life.

        very true the only reason I’m okay with it is the files are standard markdown and there is no database that locks you in. the only thing keeping me with them is features and workflow. if any open source project gets feature parity I would switch tomorrow
