Open source grants folks the right to use however they want at whatever level they want, but yeah, I think it's riding dirty to take take take & not give a lick of thought to the ecosystem or concern for it's overall well-being.
When you said:
> I don't care about the details of why it won't work, I'll just keep using the product that does work.
I see active dis-interest like that as damaging to open source as a whole. It's a mercenary in-it-for-me view, one that's not investing any caring.

But that's not active disinterest. I mean, what do you want people to do? Use the product that doesn't work for them? Do you routinely go out of your way to switch to products that cannot (and will never) do what you need it to do? Which products are these, that you use even though they can not do what you need?
