Open source, LC server and revigniter

[Kevin Miller]

Scenario A: your license lapsing does not alter software you have already
distributed. It prevents you from editing/updating your software and then
posting an update, until you renew that is.

Scenario B: No, you don't have to release code to people who simply
interact with your website. There is an alternative open source license
called AGPL which would have required that, we chose not to adopt this
license.

Kind regards,

Kevin
