We weren't expecting anything else anyway. Now they've come up with this licensing problem too.They have a proposal that would require all AI agents to operate under license.This way, they're trying to eliminate other developers from the system even during the development phase.These are qualified sons of bitches.A horde of creatures capable of any despicable act to create a monopoly.

Here is the news: https://www.businessinsider.com/microsoft-executive-suggests-ai-agents-buy-software-licenses-seats-2026-4

likely part of it is to make their ai more affordable as presumably it comes with a license.
