I’ve been pretty impressed with proxmox so far. Just saying.
Broadcom are dicks.
Similarly, users online have reported receiving cease-and-desist letters even though they haven’t issued updates since losing VMware support. One user on Spiceworks’ community forum reported receiving such a letter even though they migrated off of VMware and to Proxmox.
I switched to proxmox last summer and found it quite nice.
Some customers of Members IT Group, a managed services provider (MSP) in Canada, have received this letter, despite not receiving VMware updates since their support contracts expired, CTO Dean Colpitts told Ars. One customer, he said, received a letter six days after their support contract expired.
They will for sure push an automatic update after this and sue.

These licensing deals are cancer. Just parasites trying to leech lol
Fuck em. Foss as much as possible, donate if you got cash to spare. Never pay your oppressors folks!
Enshittification continues to prove inevitable for successful proprietary software.
Thats a bit heavy handed of Broadcom. But it shouldn’t be a shock.
With them suing att and Siemens about licensing stuff no doubt the are going to go after smaller orgs too hoping the thread of the suit will force them to buy licensing.
I am confused. How can you accidentally push a patch you have no license to acquire?
You can’t. This is a scare tactic.
