I’m trying to download the Sketchup-STL Extention. Requiring signup and extensive PII (Personally Identifiable Information) violates the license agreement posted on the Git page for the extension. Even though I’ve made an account here, I still can’t seem to download the extension. I’ve copied the license below. You can clearly see that it says “free of charge”. PII is the currency of the Internet, so that is clearly something that you are charging for. Read more about that here.

I applaud your help files, tutorials, and other material. It’s helped me out so far. However, your software is not consistent, you are way too invested in harvesting PII, and your software is incredibly glitchy. I don’t even know how to use it, but I have found it to be seemingly random sometimes. FYI, “From the mouthes of babes…” is equivalent to n00bs giving you advice.
Also, this forum package is horrible. No subforums?
No, I did not have a case of the grumpies this morning.
