The recent saga about AIM buying the software from TCs and charging them for use in return lies in the fact that it is all about sabotage.
Its a blatant plan to discredit AHTC by withdrawing licensing and support when WP has taken over and the system of fee collection collapses. It is wrong on so many levels. And this is among the least of my concerns.
My fears are multi-fold. This appears to be a new strategy that has been uncovered. Firstly, it is clear that they will stoop to any level, even to the extent that it affects the smooth running of people's lives. How low can they go?
Let's remind ourselves of the warning LKY sent our way a few years back:

"In an interview with a Harvard University professor last week he hinted that in case of a plunder - and the elected president could not or would not prevent it - then "in two or three years" the army would step in to stop it."
In the backdrop of this incident I have no doubt on the convictions upon which those words were said.
So all these while it was at the back of their minds to make things so difficult that eventually the army would have to come in, in the event that they're kicked out. Now I wonder what will make the army want to act?
Two things come to mind. Riots and political struggle.
Riots are easy enough to engineer. Back in the 60s, riots have happened and some parties were made to look like the bad guys. Enough experience there.
Politics? Now that's a new one. It will happen during the time parliament is almost equally divided. Laws and bills are checkmated and prevented from passing. Engineering brawls in Parliament with certain sections made to take the fall. Army will have to come in. But if this period passes smoothly, meaning solid majority is formed in Parliament, then this can be avoided.
