I don’t understand the AliExpress argument. They want people to use free H+L to expose them to the ecosystem and hopefully pay for the full version.
AliExpress vendors shipping thousands of routers with free H+L installed vastly boosts their user base… So isn’t that mission accomplished? If some of those users upgrade to the paid version it’s a win.
By removing free H+L, Ali express vendors will just start shipping opnsense instead and I would expect the majority of users to continue to use it instead of moving to pfSense.
Alternately if Ali vendors shipped without any software pre-installed, and then the customer installs free H+L, what’s the difference?
