Why not? It clearly shows that arguing this 'free' argument is a bit narrow. > The whole point of open source software is that you as a user get > software for free and if something goes wrong you are free to collaborate > to fix it or stop using it. That's it. There is no room for anything > else. No that is not the point of open source software. The point of open source software is that the code is available to view (to anyone). > Complaining about the quality of software you did not pay for or even > test before putting it in production seems illogical to me especially if > you are given the tools to fix it. (lets stick to the free argument, it is weak adding things like 'not testing for production' to state your case) But the same can be said in any other case. You could have walked your own kid, you could have created your own candy. Fact is that lots of people use open source software, and are expecting some default performance and functionality they have been accustomed to over time. I don't think this strange. These groups can't easily nor quickly adapt to 'erratic' changes. Imho I think that there should be additional gnu/gpl licenses where open source projects are forced to clarify termination or huge changes a few years up front. (To prevent eg that once a market share is acquired, the project is continued as not open source (think of elastic search)) > On Fri, Aug 23, 2024 at 3:51 PM Marc <m...@f1-outsourcing.eu > <mailto:m...@f1-outsourcing.eu> > wrote: > > > > I don't think you got the point.
