but this attitude
Opensource is not some public service you just request something and the developers create it for you. If anything attitude like yours are what’s burning out opensource developers.
It’s their time, work and effort and I am glad they’re upfront about it rather than pacify everyone’s request beyond what they already do.
This is not about software licensing nor the spirit of FOSS.
There’s some inconsistent messaging that’s genuinely confusing me. I’ve shared an anecdote below (from a time when I was developing open source software) in the interest of generating discussion to clear it up for me and perhaps others, too. I don’t mean to imply I know what is happening right here.
