Re: [Pharo-dev] EU Citizen Initiative for consumers to have access to apps they purchased

by James Foster

How would this impact software that is licensed on a subscription basis? What if some functionality in the application requires a server component. Is the vendor required to provide that server component forever? Or is the vendor prohibited from building applications that have a server component? I have a deep suspicion of government regulation of business arrangements like this.
