Yes, that is the one and only failure of the system. I can suggest that the author be able to give the work(s) an extension if the network is unreachable, at renewal time. theres always the posibility of using closed source modules instead which could allow network problems temporary reprisal but I don't like it.
Now I know I was branded a troll earlier for saying that Larry used mild DRM, but I thought it monitored and gave samples of code to make sure closed source things wern't made with the free version, and it monitored push, pull activity, Which is why I wonder if Larry has any Ideas, but I never made to insinuate he was "evil".
