  No, this has never been how copyright works, if you buy a book you own that copy of the book, the author can’t go into your house and take the book back, they can’t force a new version of the book onto you, they can’t require you to proof you own the book before they allow you to read it, and they can’t stop you from reselling the book.

The next logical step for me was to keep a list of those programs, so I could just run a single command and get all of them installed. That eventually evolved...
