The gift of it's your problem now
What other gifts continue to be the responsibility of the giver after they&#x27;re given?<p>If I give you a puppy, and it gets sick, should the vet bill me?<p>If I gave you a car, and the wheels fall off two years later, is that my problem?<p>In this instance people have been using this Java package for <i>years</i> I gather without problems. Why is the responsibility for changing the package anyone but theirs, the people using it; now that they&#x27;re decided they have stricter requirements for that need?<p>Even the entertainment industry&#x27;s notion of &quot;ownership&quot; isn&#x27;t so endless. They&#x27;d like to be paid every time we use their product, but have settled for &quot;licensed media&quot; ... but that license doesn&#x27;t extend to replacing the media when it wears out.
