The problem with “contributing” to a project that belongs to someone else, is that your contributions might be handily ignored, no matter how incredible and wonderful they may be.
And so, often, the only recourse to such an outcome is to roll your own from scratch.
- imtringued 9y agoWhy from scratch? You can take advantage of existing projects and make your own fork.
- tritium 9y agoTrue. However, depending on the manner of licensing applicable to a given project, one might be forced comply with aspects of the protection a given license affords. So then the choice leaves one working with intellectual property controlled by people who might ignore offers to improve their project, but in the same breath, demand attribution for the burden they inflict. Why bother playing the sycophant to an emperor with no clothes?
