Its big companies that screw them the most. I have worked for multiple multi billion dollar corporations that will screw Team Viewer over even though its how we get customers into their down servers. And it wasn't one data center, its every data center I have ever worked in (30 years in)
If the license is free, they will screw them.
*I know TV hasn't been around that long, but WinRAR has been and it was another company I saw screwed.
Thats kinda of how the free license works though. Yes loads of people use it without paying but theyre free advertising.
