20 years ago, when I shared some code with the world, because it worked for me and i hoped others might benefit from it; that was all i was doing. Today, it seems, there's implied responsibilities to your users in that situation.

Not only must the code be well organized, run perfectly, and handle all users needs; I myself must be of proper moral character, never have publicly uttered words that could be considered objectionable, and fully willing to endorse the fashionable fascism of the day.

... I don't buy it. I think that "hey this solves my problem" is viable and code doesn't carry the stain of its creators. We don't need to know or care who wrote our favorite text editor, they might be wonderful people or they might be gnarly gnomes dripping ichor; "here's the tool, it works" is sufficient knowledge to judge the tool.
