The Verge article isn't making any of these ridiculous claims.
If the licensing mechanism is the same then it will in fact happen due to expiring certificates (I have not checked if it's the same)
You're grasping. The whole OP is grasping.
Do you know how certificates work? I do. I run a cryptography forum. Expiration is the simplest of the mechanisms in certificates (it's just a date stamp and time limit rule) and it's 100% perfectly predictable what it will do.
