Is BMD charging now?

Just went to download the new braw app and got the following message.

Applicable fees... If you didn’t pay, nothing was applied I suppose.

It could that they are preparing the grounds for charging. They have said that the upgrades are free for now. So if it happens it happens.

Perhaps it's just a Catch-All, and the 'fees' for BRAW were paid when you bought the camera.

It's just legal terminology to cover licensing rules.

Yeah, without that, anyone reading the EULA would be awarded a license. So that terminology ensures that only people who bought a license are granted a license.
