Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the patched source code available? It'd be awfully nice of them to update their APT repos for free, but that's nothing more than that: awfully nice. If you rely on their code and don't wish to pay for their support, you could always build the APT packages yourself. I don't know what kind of community spirit you should expect for a project maintained by a single company like this.

> It'd be awfully nice of them to update their APT repos for free, but that's nothing more than that: awfully nice. It doesn't cost them anything metophorically or physically. Updating the APT repo is a CI/CD script away. No doubt they do it for the commercial side anyway, so the tweak in the CI/CD is probably no more than a couple of variables. And open-source projects can usually get freebies from everything they need. So there's unlikely to be much if anything in terms of actual hard-dollars expense for running the repos.
