Well you clearly feel strongly, but it came off as a bit harsh when the creator spent 12 years on these. How is this different than shareware or 30 day software

Well you clearly feel strongly, but it came off as a bit harsh when the creator spent 12 years on these. How is this different than shareware or 30 day software trials or feature limited trials? Free stuff shows the quality, nature, general function. If you need more or need to use it commercially (to make money yourself), you have to pay to upgrade. Seems pretty much like this approach is analogous.
- xunn0026 5y agoThis is more of a reason. I've never heard of somebody writing software alone for 10 years and the releasing it. If anything open source should encourage early open sourcing, doing work in the public, accepting contributions, etc. I think it's more like a shareware, ie. not open source.
