Do people really get interested customers saying those things often?

It might be the products I've worked on, or the industry(s) but I've never seen a request like the ones quoted.

It certainly won't be read by those asking to open source the apps unless the author sends them the link, for at which point they may as well have kept the exchange private in email.

The amount of shit I got because it wasn't open source was astounding. Akin to bullying.

It was MY pet project! Literally every week, every release, I'd get negative or downright nasty comments.

I wasn't forcing anyone to use it.. people are just so entitled.

Just my experience..
