I think the problem is the terminology. People grew up when open source software was also free. Open core uses the same terminology, although products are only open and free in a limited way. I don’t want to assume intend, but many users are mislead that way.
- pydry 3y agoI think the problem is entitlement more than terminology.
- kuschku 3y agoIf someone builds a feature faster, better, and more open than the paid alternative and gives it away long before the enterprise version even announces the feature, where is the entitlement?
- Sl1mb0 3y agoThe expectation that the feature should be merged in. Just because you created an amazing pull request that everyone wants merged in, doesn't mean the maintainer should or want to do so.
- pydry 3y agoExpecting it to be merged of course! If they think theyve built something better theyre always free to fork the original. If they dont want to put the legwork in and have expectations that somebody else should maintain their code anyway, they should fuck off.
- hiatus 3y agoA person writes code for a feature that is not merged into the project and you call them entitled?
- Sytten 3y agoThe entitlement is from people that think the devs have an godly obligation to merge this PR.
- pjmlp 3y agoWe have had free source code for decades, it is also a reason why UNIX didn't die inside Bell Labs. The difference is that older generations understand developers have bills to pay.
