Why even go the route of narrowly defining the term just to say “I’m not that”? It just makes the argument literally untrue even though the underlying points are correct and important.
- TheCleric 4y agoOkay, let's look at it from a different perspective. What obligation do I, a person developing FOSS in my free time without compensation, have to a consumer of that software (and especially to a consumer who is likely making money in part due to their use of the software I wrote)?
- D13Fd 4y agoAbsolutely nothing. They have no obligations at all, just like any supplier who provides something as-is. And I agree with the author of the post that it's wrong and unjust for people to think otherwise. But so what? That does not change the fact that a person developing FOSS supplies something—in fact in most cases they supply a ton of value.
