Re: Patch incoming in... 3,2,1
why should users of this free software be responsible for testing it? Shouldnt the maintainers of the free software carry out the testing for it instead?
Consumers of the software just need to make sure it does what they want it to do, not that it does what everyone wants it to do.
Also, why should these "beelions" made by large Internet companies who use this free software pay for that testing? Especially when they need to pay people to support the free software they just decided to use?
Proprietary software for companies as large as you are alluding to normally comes with Enterprise support to provide 24/4 help to anyone using that software. Other companies pushing open source and free software also sell Enterprise support plans for this software. So when exactly does it become as free as you mention?
