Vendors below the "Startup" sponsorship level have also lost access to detailed per-firmware analytics. In August, custom LVFS API access will be cut for non-Startup vendors, with automated upload limits following in December.

Will vendor just stop use lvfs and linux not have any firmware?

I doubt it. It sounds like it just limits vendor access to analytics. It doesn't stop users downloading the firmware from lvfs. Correct me if I'm wrong.
