The license check is guarded by a preprocessor directive which was hardcoded in one file but overridable in another one. When I asked about it he said the hardcoded file had been fixed so it can now be overrided when building which is a clear intent that the author want to allow the license check to be compiled out. He provides on his website prebuilt Windows binary with the license check enabled to fund his work and only the source is distributed for Linux.
