I've had a KryoFlux for a number of years, but I feel like I have been seeing a lot of people who aren't fans of their recently... do you know why people don't like them?

Jason Scott (textfiles on HN) explained[1] the main reasons that make several people (including myself) uncomfortable with KyroFlux.

(sidenote: the author of FluxEngine[2] replied to that thread, which is where I first heard about it)

>people who aren't fans

tldr: just fuck off already, you sold me the gizmo, you have no rights to anything I do with it

I don’t see anything bad in the license? Am I missing something?

They claim rights to things you can and cannot do post sale. This is a "good" version. Previously they also claimed copyrights over anything you ripped with their tools.
