Your company wasn't stung by it. You chose to get stung by it. Just pin your version and live with it. If it's such a critical piece of your business, either pay a fair price for it, or make it yourself.
- the_af 4y agoSo you are basically saying "don't use open source software". Great. "Pinning your version" forever isn't a viable strategy in lots of cases.
- ohgodplsno 4y agoNo, I'm saying to not be a leech.
- the_af 4y agoI apologize, my reply was uncharitable. You are right that private companies should stop being leeches and give back to the community. I just wish we all collectively made FOSS work, because to my mind it's the greatest development in computing history, instead of going the proprietary road once again. Which I think is bad for all of us, even if short term it might look like a solution. But yes, leeching is a problem.
