Also when someone finds a bug, the maintainers are under no obligation to fix it or fix it with any timeline or even debug what's going on. If someone wants an immediate response they should provide compensation.

A common misconception is that OSS developers do everything for free. They do what THEY want for free. If YOU want to change their priorities, companies need to compensate for that.

Burnout is a well known structural problem that has inflicted most communal systems. And no one has ever developed an adequate fix.

It's human nature --- if someone is perfectly content to work for free, most others are perfectly content to watch.

It's a system of perfect logic built on the foundation of a few flawed assumptions.

At best very lean open source software written in plain and simple C99+/assembly (including the SDK)... maybe worth saving.

You can see more and more open source devs taking (or wishing for) microsoft money with rust tough (we all know who is being the rust agenda, like openai, "open" always makes me laugh.).
