If I wrote something for my own use and decided to open source it and then someone hypothetically decided to sue me because it wasn’t accessible, I would say f%%%. them too and take it down.

The difference is that they won't win in court. There's no law requiring you to make your open source work accessible - unless that open source work was part of a project for which you got federal grants.

Sorry, but it's clear that many commenters to this thread no almost nothing about what happened, and are merely engaging in outrage mania.

If the federal grant didn’t pay enough to cover making my project that I decided to open source accessible, I would still say f%%% it and take it down

		And you should. I'm not seeing the problem. In the real world, though, when people ask for grant money, they justify how the money will be used. If you didn't put a line item for accessibility, and didn't budget for it, it's on you.
