The person is saying that the description says "subscription" which by definition automatically renews","comments":[{"id":45569815,"user":"dangus","time":1760371048,"time_ago":"4 months ago","type":"comment","content":"

Not the definition of a subscription. See: magazines, traditionally purchased with one-time annual payments.","comments":[{"id":45575346,"user":"ezfe","time":1760406113,"time_ago":"4 months ago","type":"comment","content":"

Well, those still recur automatically","comments":[{"id":45575793,"user":"dangus","time":1760410757,"time_ago":"4 months ago","type":"comment","content":"

To my recollection, not the old fashioned kind where you send in a check/money order for the annual subscription.","comments":[{"id":45584933,"user":"ezfe","time":1760476163,"time_ago":"4 months ago","type":"comment","content":"

No, I mean they recur monthly for the prepaid duration. The SQLite online is simply 1 term of access. There's no recurrence of any kind.","comments":[{"id":45592066,"user":"dangus","time":1760534449,"time_ago":"4 months ago","type":"comment","content":"

Emphasis mine, as long as the item is periodic in nature it’s a subscription. The SQLite online membership has a term of access so it’s a subscription.

a: a purchase by prepayment for a certain number of regular deliveries of something (such as issues of a periodical) or for a certain period of access to or use of something (such as an online service)
