Section 7.1 grants Arduino a perpetual, irrevocable license over anything you upload. Your code, projects, forum posts, and comments all fall under this. This remains in effect even after you delete your account. Arduino retains rights to your content indefinitely.

The license is also royalty-free and sublicensable. Arduino can use your content however they want, distribute it, modify it, and even sublicense it to others.

Holy shit the title doesn't cover it by half. This is beyond disappointing enshitification, it's a red light for any future use of Arduino.

Ya, I read it as sarcasm, apparently I'm not alone there. No harm no foul, but sorry for misreading it.

In this context, why the hell wouldn't you? If you need a freaking logarithmic scale for it, if the gap between haves and have nots is this lopsided, at the very least making a conservative "no matter where we put a line maybe a billion is too much" is a useful thing to go. We can quickly quibble over whether multimillionaires should exist, but no matter what, the existence for billionaires is a failing of society.
