Logic of open source: 1. I don't want to take responsibility for anything I do. 2. That's why I give away my work for free, so nobody has any right to complain. And so I don't have to be embarrassed of any shortcomings. 3. Some people take all my work and give me nothing back. 4. Now I get really angry that I didn't get anything for all the work I did! 5. So I demand that the government steps in and takes responsibility! And that they give me money and tax benefits! | ||

I don't think 1, 2, and 4 apply to many high profile open source projects. | ||

This message was brought to you by means of the Linux kernel (free software) running the GNU user space tools (free software) and the Nginx web server (free software) serving as a reverse proxy for the HN site (more or less free software, at least older versions are available). All that work, for free, to allow you to complain about people writing free software. Entitled, you are. | ||
