You are also stuck with the costs of managing those licenses, and the risk of not being in compliance (howerever well you manage them). Both get bigger than the licensing costs when you get big.

There is also the cost hidden in "new developer? Wait a bit while I'll get another license", "what kind of replication? We don't have enough licenses", "no, you can't just create a small project (that can get huge) for solving this small problem, it can't justify the cost in licenses", and other very common situations.
