it would be standard practice for them to include language that would
specifically prohibit them from doing that in the license.

some view the paying of the license fees pragmatically - as in it will
cost me less to pay the license fee than to pay the lawyers to fight it.
Others - i.e., Red Hat view it as essential to fight it for
philosophical reasons.

I suppose that you could step up and pay them your $699/$199
