The OP's point of view is valid. The OP's assertion as to the cause of their license being revoked was not backed up with any useful evidence (a
coincidence is not sufficient). Here's some things the OP could have done, or included if they did do or know, to back up their claim:
- Explain how the Reddit post could have been linked to the Git Tower license, so even if they wanted to revoke the license, they would know how to.
- Explain what Git Tower said when asked why the license was revoked, or whether they were even asked at all.
- Note whether there could have or has previously been any oddness or confusion with licenses (in a later comment, OP notes "I tried to lookup my old license and realized I was given 1 free license this annual period (around ~October) after purchasing 2 seats the previous year for contributing significantly to bug reports with full screencasts, etc.")
In fact, if you check the reddit post now, you'll see the top comment is actually a post-mortem from the company explaining what happened. You can choose to still disbelieve what they say (a bug in the licensing system, they wouldn't do this, they didn't even know the account) if you like since you seem to think it's far fetched, but I think by far the most likely situation (even before I noted any comments from the developer) was that there was some bug or error, given the OP didn't seem to put any effort into figuring out what went on before making a very negative assumption and then posting publicly like it was true.
