#4I much rather have a license key tied to a preferred account then to a platform like Google/Apple. That's also allows for cross-platform licensing which is rare among apps.

#5Is remote verification fully open over http with no user credential verification or rate limiting? If I were to implement remote verification in an app, I would want to have the user logged in to an account prior to adding a license key. You could accomplish this by putting the KMS behind a proxy but this seems like a likely attack surface if using this the way it’s outlined in the docs.

There’s plenty of reason for end user software to be closed source. The biggest one is so that it can exist. Plenty of software would not be written if someone was not paid to do it. And plenty of those would not be paid if the source was available.
