I've always thought that practice to be STUPID. It was
stupid 15 years ago and it is still stupid today.
The fact that you as an individual thing it is stupid (in uppercase
or lowercase) is irrelevant. Several large vendors disagree with you.
Their customers have gotten used to dealing with this and do not
consider it so onerous as to change to the other large vendors who
use a different licensing scheme.
