Once it's public and people depend on it you can't retract it like that. His goal was to make his work public, not private.

- siscia 7y agoWhy?
- saagarjha 7y agoIt’s no longer “his” code.
- fouc 7y agoThe point of open source is that people can maintain their own forks etc. There's plenty of mirrors of actix I'm sure.
- Touche 7y agoYou can retract it. He just did it. You can take down any webpage under your control. I could delete this comment later if I like. You could delete yours. etc.
- saagarjha 7y ago> I could delete this comment later if I like. Now you can’t.
- captainbland 7y agoYou basically can. The cost of free stuff like this is "be nice to the guy giving it to you" or at least don't be actively abusive about it. If the community won't pay that price, expect it to evaporate.
- majewsky 7y ago> The cost of free stuff is "be nice to the guy giving it to you". Can I get this on a poster please? Really well put.
- mratsim 7y agoThis goes both way though. Be nice when people submit patches especially when you reject them. The abusive comment seems to have been a knee-jerk response from someone dissatisfied by the "it's boring" comment about a proof-of-concept patch.
