No, merely putting code out there for others to use creates no obligations at all. None of the open source licenses create any such obligations either.

- LocalH 5y agoI didn't just say that. I said that if you put your code out there in such a form as people rely on your instance of it, you have an obligation to not break them without warning. Don't want that obligation? Don't put the code out there in that form, put it out in such a way that people can't rely on your specific upload to use the software. If that means "don't use X package manager", then so be it.
