> They've just legally given up all the coercive options, so the only tool left is complaint

My previous comment on this was unclear.

The very act of complaining about it betrays the idea that it's "freedom".

Either companies have the freedom to take without giving back, in which case forcing them to buy the software breaks those freedoms, but you shouldn't complain.

Or they do not have the freedom, in which case just sell the software normally.
