Re: FOSS community?
But that's the issue right there, you missed my cross-reference: exactly what promise does FOSS software give to the user that the exact same thing won't happen??.
FOSS gives you NO declared promise that the same thing won't happen, yet believers think otherwise. With a lot of projects written off the backs of a few select coders, what promise is there - besides hope that someone else picks up the workload - if the coder quits?
If the belief of coders picking up projects to make software for the benefit of doing so were true, when the thrown-about phrase "If you don't like it, fork it and develop it yourself!" was spoken a LOT more versions of a *lot* of programs would be out there.
Not true, is it?
