It isn't a flaw. CC has no idea and cannot find out how you installed it or where the APK came from, which could be any number of "pseudo app stores." Furthermore, CC doesn't "lose its authentication", instead having never authenticated because it waits for a bit (an hour or so) to be sure that the Google Play servers are updated. Even furthermore, CC authenticates exactly once and never checks again. If that one authentication has taken place then unless you are uninstalling and reinstalling the app, moving to a non-internet-connected network will not require rechecking the license.

After much discussion amongst us, we have decided that we won't remove the one-time check.
I am still looking for ways to deal with devices that don't/can't have the Google Play services installed, such as a lot of e-ink android devices.
