> The lack of support on LTSC is the least baffling thing going on here but I'm open to the possibility that I'm misunderstanding something....
And yea, you're right, but Indeed, many people need to use the store on LTSC, especially after Microsoft migrated many ecosystem attempts to the store, for example Microsoft Photos and some extensions like HEIC, and now not only UWP applications can enter the store; regular applications can also do so. It actually poses a very big problem that we cannot use the store anymore, at least that's what I think.
Furthermore, it is not just LTSC 2019 that cannot be used; this means that older versions of Windows (at least 1809 or older) are also no longer able to use it. In other words, we can no longer use the store on older versions of Windows. You might say that Microsoft itself didn't intend to provide support for older versions, and yea, I agree, that's true. However, the fact is that many people use Windows largely because of its compatibility advantages. I believe everyone should at least be aware that Microsoft is not as compatible with older programs, especially its own, which is what I want to express.
As for the license, I would like to clarify that it is only to prevent the packaging scripts from being used for commercial purposes and promotion. As you can see, this repository is not specifically intended for hosting store programs, so it does NOT apply to the store programs themselves, but only to the deployment scripts :)
