OTOH if you didn't pay for support you shouldn't expect support. 'patches welcome' is a very valid response.




Is not the whole FOSS movement about receiving something you did not pay for? Going as far as to say that’s even what users deserve?

don't confuse 'receiving something you did not pay for' with 'being allowed to feel entitled to anything' is all. 'open source' is just that, nothing more. if you want a service with your source, be prepared to sponsor it.

I still think people should want things and be vocal about what they want. This is the natural way for people to know what needs to be built. It is different from demanding something.

And besides that, a lot of people on here do pay for Github in the first place.
