@mode13h I don't think it's an overreaction and I don't think the money is the main issue
I agree paying for the tools you use is good
The trouble is going to your customers and saying "oh by the way, you owe us a bunch of money now "
If the fee was there from the beginning? That's fine, they can budget for that
After the fact? Bit shit because now companies have to rebudget and find that money
Plus, what's to stop them from adding other fees in the future?
@mode13h my thought is that from the beginning this fee should have only applied to new projects. Existing projects should have been grandfathered into the old system
