Ok, so I've read through this entire thread, and I'm hearing an over-arching sense of entitlement here.
1) NONE OF YOU ARE ENTITLED TO RUN CUSTOM ROMS UNLESS YOU CAN WRITE YOUR OWN HSPL
2) RE-READ #1 when talking about how the license server was set up, the reasoning for making it non-free, etc. If you don't like it, write a new one.
3) The reason that the HSPL was limited to one free unlock was because previous unlocks were being re-sold. If you had the knowhow and talent to write an unlocker (which we've established that you don't) would you want to have it be re-sold when you did the work and provided it for free?
4) Caveat emptor (buyer beware), who would pay repeatedly for a product that was not delivered? "Fool me once, shame on you, fool me twice (or 3 times in the OP's case) shame on me!"
Let's just pull our heads out for a minute and realize that we are at the mercy of the handful of folks out there who have the skills to unlock these phones and if we want this to continue, then we'd better shut up and simply thank them for their hard work instead of arm-chair quarterbacking all of them.
