There's also the aspect of giving contributors their due credit and thanks. As time and furloughs allow, to be sure, but I'm only talking about two paragraphs' worth of giving people who've poured hours into the project an explanation of what's gone on. I honestly don't care one iota about the concept of being entitled to the FOSS source code; I'm just slightly miffed about the seeming lack of thanks for the people who chipped in. If you will, it's about what's owed to contributors, not tax-payers. It's a small thing that means a great deal.
