(And on the flipside, nothing is owed for a bugfix the maintainer made out of their own free will. Again, a gift.)

The problem is lots of open source is unmaintained/insecure, and there aren't any security engineers on those open source libraries.

For the library to be secure, there needs to be funding, not by magic and expecting maintainers will do stuff on there free will.
