And when the opensource maintainer changes the license to adapt to the economic situation, the OSIsts rush in to tell the maintainer how evil they are.
Is this the case? Don’t corporations usually sponsor a little bit at least?
You haven’t met many corporations have you.
When I do, I don’t ask them whether they donate to the foss projects they consume, let’s put it that way.
In most cases no. Sometimes they let their developers contribute to the open source projects for a small percentage of their working time.
Some send table scraps to bigger organization, like the Apache Foundation. The millions of small projects that they depend on get shit.
Unfortunate 🫤
I don’t see a negative. It’s foss so you ought to be relaxed about others using your code. The issues are probably just articulating problems that were already there. If it’s stuff you don’t care about… it’s a foss repository so you just ignore it.
