My response (copy pasted from reddit): 
 
Linus here.
 
First and foremost, I'm sorry for any upset we caused by using OCCT without paying for a professional license. I've gone ahead and picked up a pro license to cover our use. https://imgur.com/HlDn2Ic
 
The truth is I had no idea OCCT was a paid software. There is a donation prompt in the application, but otherwise no indication that I should have been using a paid version.
Ignorance doesn't excuse our sloppy approach to software licensing here, though. The simple fact is we pirated your software (which as some of you realize I never said we were perfect about, and in fact have pointed out times when my own ethics aren't bothered by it, but whatever) but hopefully our purchase of a paid license will allow us to put this behind us.
 
There are some other aspects of your post that I could probably type out a longer reply to - like the insinuation that (even if we wanted to) LTT could somehow destroy your OCCT business, or that we don't reply to outreach (I searched our public email and we only have two emails containing the characters OCCT, and neither of them are from you), and the fact that honestly I've got a little bit of whiplash right now from how abruptly this went from "thanks for the shout-out" to "I'm upset enough to write a novel on reddit about it".

Most devs recognize that our use of their software is closer to educational use than it is to commercial use and don't mind us using their software for free if we are demonstrating how to use it and showcasing it to potential customers on the channel. Based on this Twitter post, I assumed you felt the same way. I guess you don't.
 
But assumptions lead to disasters, and we absolutely should have reached out. Hopefully you can understand how the error occurred and we can put this behind us.

Uh... tight completion deadlines don't have to be accompanied by tight release timelines. You can have one without the other.
 
You're assuming that an editor doesn't have 5+ other videos to work on during any 14-day span, which would be a false assumption.
 
And you're also assuming zero variance in workflow. We release videos within 24-48 hours of shooting at events like CES. We often receive products on a Tuesday which have an embargo date of Friday of that same week.
 
I'd urge you to think a bit more critically before making sweeping judgments on how "easy" someone else's job is. I assure you that everyone here works long hours and wouldn't call their job "easy."

ZOOM H1, it's very good actually!

I'm not entirely sure how you came to that conclusion - better efficiency, better components. 

There is a correlation between quality and efficiency - especially on power output capabilities. 
 
Right, so - how did I get the results that I found? the P2 gave worse results than the G2. This is my point.
 
The spec says they're interchangeable, my pinout test also indicates they are the same.
 
Also just realised that I pasted the wrong PSU model, which may explain your reply..! 
Should have been EVGA SuperNOVA 750 G2, 80+ GOLD 750W NOT GQ
 
Oh man... I need to stop using my ipad to reply.. what a mess. Sorry all! 

Neither, it’s software.
