You can't win a football game if the referee is being bribed by the other side.
Or in this case, succeed with a boss who was short sighted enough to let the mess happen in the first place and who is going to blame you for failing if you don't pull off a miracle.
In fact I'd say that management is lowballing the budget this time so they can loot the company and leave a stinking mess in the hands of the next guy.
Hint: When a manager flies the coop he doesn't take the blame with him.

And the exemptions expire automatically after 3 years.
See Galoob v. Nintendo on whether or not private modification is actually illegal.
It's the companies fault for making their hardware so that anything other than official firmware bricks it.

And some fuck could always bring pruning shears.
The sad thing is that a company that got its code before it paid probably WOULD pull a stunt like that if it could get away with it.
Without a mediator or a court to punish the cheaters in some way, both sides have both the incentive and ability to cheat with impunity.
Can you please explain to me what the hell a butt hurt-troll is?
If you pass up a short term advantage your competition may gain enough market share to squeeze you out of reaping long term benefits.
