Nor does it need to be addressed. To be blunt, that concern belongs to Jelsoft and no one else. If they choose to be part of the solution, then I'm sure no one will have any complaint to a download area open to licensed users only.

But if they choose not to be part of the solution, then they can't reasonably expect any developer to make Jelsof's concerns theirs.
