Re: Lack of commercial support is a problem

there's a port for Wazuh also: https://www.freshports.org/security/wazuh-agent

Small correction

"At the same event, we met one of the developers working on modernizing FreeBSD's laptop support, as we recently reported now aided by STF funding."

Open source maintainer threatens to throw in the towel if companies won't ante up

Re: There's something I don't get

imhho this is a valid posture. where it gets confusing is when devs like this who don't want to be on the hook to maintain their oss code for others are still called Maintainers. i think the industry shld rethink applying this title to everyone who creates an oss project

why call them maintainers?

one obvious thing the open source community can do to help this situation is to stop referring to open source creators as "maintainers"

is it any wondrr that there is this stubborn expectation on the part of users that the free sw they consume will be supported when the creators willingly accept the moniker of "Maintainer"?

Developer, or Creator, or Inventor. Anything but Maintainer
