Exactly. Non-free software is always paying for a service. If you don't get the source (and the ability to use it) you don't get the software. The source code is the software... the binary is an merely way to access a small part of it.

I don't care about software licenses. I'm a contractor. I pay for software that makes me better at my job AND I trust the vendor will support ME.

My time is valuable to me and my clients.

Never said you should or shouldn't use those services, just that you are paying for a service and not buying software.
