He did. In two very good and explanatory blog posts. The software license also states that there is no warranty implied etc. etc.
If that's not enough information then I don't know what is.
- Jiro 5y agoI went to his download page. It doesn't say "we don't take bug reports". If he only wants to prevent bug reports from people who read his blog, saying it in the blog may be useful. But he probably wants to prevent bug reports from everyone who downloads it, in which case common sense says to put it on the downloads page. >The software license also states that there is no warranty implied etc. etc. The vast majority of open source projects have this in their license and they still take bug reports. The point is that his project is different from the default way in which most open source projects behave. People are inherently going to assume his project is typical, because most projects are typical. The fact that people do this doesn't mean they're clueless; it means that he isn't communicating well. He shouldn't expect other people to treat his project like an atypical one unless he says, front and center, that it's atypical.
