On the tracking and phoning home: gross, I wish they didn’t do that. I’ll stick with FreeCAD.
It makes sense though, that they don’t care about pirated software unless you’re making money off it. It’s probably in their interest of hobbyists can learn how to use the software from pirated copies - that’s just a potential future paid user, if they develop the skills to eventually want to use it professionally.
