Can’t you just firewall it? I imagine you’d lose support though.

Depends on what kind of check it's doing. I doubt it fails open and if it does you're violating the license and open to big damages from Atlassian.

I imagine reverse engineering it to not phone home would violate the license in the same way.

Yeah I meant even if it does fail open such that you could hack it to keep using it, doing so would definitely violate the license.
