How is this trial enforced?

How is this trial enforced?

Since it's now closed source and they distribute what is possibly/probably/presumably a binary blob, the same way all the others are enforced. With some kind of DRM date checking whatever.

Does pip really allow binary blobs? That effectively makes it zero security.

Take a look at the Source Distribution files: https://pypi.org/project/PySimpleGUI/#files

As far as I can see, it's still all just Python.
