I've never understood why being a small business is seen as an excuse. Do the circumstances of the person writing or maintaining the library change because you're a small business?
If they actually "need" those libraries, then they should be budgeting to give back.
- merb 11y agoAs said giving back takes time. Especially you need to learn the internals of the library however in smaller companies you have less time than in other companies and also you probably already take care of internals of other libraries and since I'm a human I can't take care of everything. It's not an excuse as I said I really want to have more time. It's just an explanation.
- spronkey 11y agoWell, to be honest, for almost all "core" pieces there are enough alternatives that for a really small businesses it doesn't make much sense to budget for paying for libraries. And it's reasonably standard practice in commercial situations to charge more to large enterprises than small ones.
