In other words, it is a gift. You get something useful for nothing.
As for the other point, I agree that the author should use more business friendly tactics if he wishes to sell his services better, but that was not the point. The original complaint was that his approach is somewhat offensive. Which I didn't agree with. I think his approach was genuine, if not very skillful.
- AOsborn 9y agoNo, the point made was that the author was unnecessarily aggressive. That does not imply that the author was not genuine. The attitude of the author is definitely relevant to whether the library can and should be relied upon for inclusion in a project. Personally, this is a non-starter if I can pick up such a hostile, anti-community tone in a two minute review.
