What do you call the state that indie open source maintainers are in right now? Lack of business mindset? Skill issue?
> You and others seem to constantly misrepresent what FOSS explicitly means, and start involving some implicit rules about what FOSS means and should be
I thought "the vision" and a major corner of open source is others contributing and building on top of each other? Which of the following is more FOSS:
- Putting your code online and saying no to requests
- Collaborating together and contributing back?
Why do you refuse to promote the second option? How does it go against FOSS? To me, it sounds much healthier for the ecosystem and more along the spirit of FOSS. I'm not sure what definition of FOSS make you blame those frustrated with the lack of contribution and trying to promote it.
