Wow, indeed. To add insult to the injury, the whole message reads like this: > Good news is several Google and Apple engineers have volunteered to help with libxml2 and libxslt security issues, despite your effort to sabotage libxml2 users... I mean, c'mon. He's carrying the world on his shoulders and people are just pointing fingers? Also, this shows how evil corporations are. I can understand Apple, it's their culture to avoid GPL code and and committing code to any public project needs permission from everyone plus the campus cat, but Google, the apparently bastion of open source software is doing the same thing without any shame... They have morphed into the next Microsoft AFAICS. Despicable. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

mcatanzaro frequently makes these over the top comments, and when called out, refuses to backtrack on them. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||

The accusation of sabotage was pretty disgusting but there's something that's arguably even worse deeper in the thread: > maybe if you stop fixing things for free, perhaps somebody will suddenly be willing to pay you to do so We should all remember that line every time we think about being generous or altruistic. He essentially called the maintainer a fool. | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
