I believe this is karma of every stable open source product, which gained enough popularity.

  That would be the opposite of karma, wouldn't it? Unless OSS is unrewarded evil in your eyes

    $ google "define karma" karma /ˈkɑːmə,ˈkəːmə/ noun noun: karma (in Hinduism and Buddhism) the sum of a person's actions in this and previous states of existence, viewed as deciding their fate in future informal good or bad luck, viewed as resulting from one's actions. Not all karma is good. The important part is the "resulting from one's actions"

      These definitions aren't a computer program. They require some degree of cooperation from the reader.

        Yes, language, as well as culture and money, exist because people cooperate on some level.

    No good deed goes unpunished.

    I've always understood karma to be good or bad. It's not always evil. You can have good karma or bad karma, it's just always what you deserve.

      Yes but creating an open source product that's reliable and useful enough to get installed in so many cars is a good thing. I wouldn't call getting contacted directly by people with problems a good thing - especially if you read a related account someone left in the comments: http://acme.com/software/thttpd/repo.html http://acme.com/software/thttpd/repo.html.
