First, I don't know if the license states it can be revoked unilaterally without cause by the seller when you, the buyer, have done nothing to violate the terms. Second, if it does say this, I simply wouldn't care and would ignore it. Others are of course free to virtue-signal any way they want on this.
I wouldn't ask for a refund, I'd rather keep what I bought (that's the reason I bought it in the first place!) But if they shoved a refund down my throat against my wishes, I'd accept their "gift" and go on with my life as if nothing had happened. If they want to put money back on my credit card, there's not much I can do about it. And there's no requirement I am aware of that says I should try to do anything about it. If there
was some kind of bizarre requirement that says I need to take action to do something about their unrequested and unwanted refund, I'd simply ignore that requirement too.
There are all kinds of stupid and unreasonable laws. You have my permission to ignore them if you want. There is (was?) a law in the state of Texas that says it is illegal to have a goldfish in a bowl on a public bus if the goldfish is swimming upside down. If my goldfish was happily swimming upside down, I would not spoil its fun and cart it off to the nearest police station for incarceration. I'm such a rebel!
