For what it's worth, this particular library is github/linguist – a core part of github that actively requests pull requests.

- krick 12y agoFunny that this particular complaint then is quite justified, while the generalized one is not. Because, well, github is commercial enterprise which builds it's business on the phenomena of open source itself, by providing the service that uses this particular library as well and users of this service just provide them with fixes for this app (which obviously is maintained, as we are using that service right now and somewhere out there are programmers, paid to work on this particular app). But author of the blogpost didn't want to reveal what library he's talking about, which makes the whole complaint much harsher than it should be.
- yarrel 12y agoI can understand why he didn't. He'd reveal himself as a free rider by doing so.
