LoL Jesus Christ, you kids are not alright. XD complete lack of understanding of personal responsibility.
There's zero responsibility or liability on open source work. Specifically, this is licensed as CC BY-NC-ND 4.0, which has the following clauses:
https://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-nd/4.0/deed.en
Bref, the developer doesn't owe anyone anything beyond what is stated in the CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 license, the GitHub TOS and the local laws where the developer lives.
You don't seem to understand what I'm saying, but that's ok.
No, I understand exactly what you're saying, you're stating that people doing free work owe you things, and I'm stating that the licence absolves them of all obligations you claim they have.
Besides, you have not stated on what basis the developer "owes" you support besides attacking them and other commenters in this thread on an ad hominem basis.
If you wanted guaranteed support, you could ask the original author if you can get a maintenance and support contract for their application, where the limits and costs of that support are outlined in the contract.
The first line is so completely, utterly wrong. XD thus not bothering with the rest.
Thanks for playing and better luck next time!
Please explain how it is wrong.
Lol why? You don't give a shit. No one who has commented in this exchange does.
And that's fine as far as it goes, but let's not be disingenuous and pretend we're righteous.
Forget it, Jake. It's the internet.
You've dodged my question. Please explain how what I've stated is wrong.
Telling you I'm not going to answer you because I don't believe you care and it's a waste of at least my own time isn't dodging your question. I told you exactly. Waste of time.
I owe you nothing.
Then I don't know why you're here in the first place.
I suggest you delete your comments if you're going to attack people ad hominem by calling them a "cry baby" instead of clearly stating your opinion and refuse to have a conversation about it. You won't have people replying to you about a conversation you don't want to have.
As you said, it's a waste of your time, and a waste of everyone else's time.
No ad hominems here, buddy, even if that does sound fancy.
We are all free to engage or not as we like.
That's freedom, and of no one else's concern. I don't need permission from others to share my opinion, nor to withhold it.
