Arch users are typically pretty assholish and very outspoken. They love telling people that need help to RTFM which makes the Linux community harder to be a part of.
The problem don't seem to be the users, but the dev.m, according to additional context I read.
The dev started out with an open source license, but after seeing other people use the license as intended, he got pissed and closed down the license.
So since now, like on arch, people have to build the old, open source versions, people are now reporting old bugs, which pissed the dev off even more.
So tl;dr: entitled dev wants full control over his open source project, closed down the license and is pissed people are still using the old open source version.
So now someone giving away hundreds of hours of work for free is entitled because he doesn't want to provide it with the license YOU, who likely contributed nothing at all to the project, prefer.
Wow.
You did not read what you wrote before calling someone else entitled, did you?
Wow, seems you didn't read what I posted at all.
Yes, taking away hundreds of hours of work by people contributing to your OPEN SOURCE project is what I call entitlement.
Telling people trying to help to fuck off is pretty shitty, but apparently not in your eyes.
