I might not understand you, but what prevents me from conducting a Sybil attack (a.k.a. a sock puppet attack) against this system?

Seems like it relies on everyone playing by the rules and only requesting one license per user. Why would a bot developer be incentivized to follow that rule and not just request 1M licenses?

That's a great point thank you for bringing this up. I don't have a solution for that, and frankly my proposal was putting a lot of work onto the platforms that wanted to support it so I'm not sure it would get much traction.
