While appalling I don’t think you would find it 'crushing', even ignoring the jibe about expat conclaves. Costa Rica’s 17 in 100k is ~2.5 times bigger than the US’ 6 in 100k people killed by homicide. Thanks to gun crime, the US’

You guys are tripping. EULAs have had anti-competition, anti-benchmarking, anti-reverse engineering and anti-disparagement clauses since the late 90s. These unknown companies called Microsoft, Oracle, Salesforce, Apple, Adobe, … et al have

> something being a liability and something having upkeep costs are not the same thing. What would your definition of /liability/ be then? 'An ongoing commitment to pay future costs' is a pretty good one.
