It&#x27;s nice except for the one part where he says he has some responsibility to his users. He doesn&#x27;t. Not at all. That would be a one-way relationship or responsibility. If his users were paying him, then I could see some responsibility. If it&#x27;s free and&#x2F;or incomplete, it&#x27;s the users that have responsibility when they download it: be grateful for work done so far, make sure it works as intended, and so on.<p>FOSS developers shouldn&#x27;t feel guilty or responsible in the slightest for their users unless their users&#x27; success is part of the developers&#x27; lifelong goals. For instance, protecting liberty by making sure Tor and GPG work properly. Otherwise, screw them if they want something done but won&#x27;t contribute anything back.
