> It's how people rely on it without any consideration about the sourcing of it. Exactly this. I think the problem is that OSS consumers often have a complex that they are entitled to "good software". But I doubt that the solution is to make it so that the producers are "entitled" to financial compensation. I can see situations where that backfires -- satisfying the producer's "entitlement" can exacerbate the consumer's sense of entitlement and just create an entitlement arms race, and stress out open source producers.
