Arch aur maintainer's email: https://lists.archlinux.org/pipermail/arch-general/2017-April/043604.html
This affects all distros, as licenses are sold PER user. So a dev can't purchase a license and let anyone else use it.
This is good. Grsecurity is stupid greedy jew faggot and can fuck off.

Politics everyone. The ones who end up suffering are the Linux community at large. Now we're stuck with no updates for grsec and less secure systems. Not to mention that most of these protections will probably never get upstreamed if Linus and other maintainers have anything to say about it. And currently there's no better alternative.
Even other comparable projects like HardenedBSD and even OpenBSD don't have the same degree of protections enacted by grsec.
