LessBother signal

Ownership-positive on this verified dimension. The primary-source evidence shows an ownership-friendly path on this specific issue. That is not the same as an overall product recommendation.

This signal applies only to the verified ownership dimension above. It is deliberately narrower than a full verdict.

Why this matters

The way software or a service is sold determines whether you keep a usable product after you stop paying. This records the current purchase/subscription path rather than relying on how it used to be sold.

What would make us change this answer?

We would change this answer if the manufacturer changes the documented perpetual-license ownership, removes or replaces the source, or publishes newer exact-model information that contradicts this record.

Research coverage

Confirmed on this product/service: perpetual-license ownership.

LessBother has not yet published an exact-product finding here on:

price-change history
data/privacy policy
export/exit path and lock-in

Those are research gaps, not negative findings. We leave them blank until there is evidence.

What this page does not claim

This page does not pretend one verified ownership fact is a complete product review or an overall buy/avoid verdict. The record will deepen only as evidence is added.

KEEP DIGGING

One answer should lead to the next.
