The intention is to reduce the number of licensors to a manageable level, to lock out "hobbyists" and other entities that Microsoft doesn't want to have to trouble itself with.

What lawyer/pr rep approved this statement? Not only is it shooting yourself in the foot, but the policy wouldn't stand up in court for a minute.

I just think it's bizzare; there aren't that many "hobbyist" hardware developers.
I have a programming folder, and I have nothing of value there

Running with Code has a new home!

Our species really annoys me.
