It's really hard to understand how these companies do their business.

What's up with that? They get paid to do a job, and choose proprietary software to do it, why don't they pay the licenses?

Don't want to pay? I think the solution it's pretty obvious...

Bet the fees they're going to pay are much more than the license fees (not to mention bankrupcy)
