Every time an open source project is criticised, you get people saying &quot;why are you criticising, you should do the work&quot; - to the point that this seems to be a mechanism to shutdown any and all criticism of any open source project via special pleading.<p>One can be very grateful for the work done on an open source project, and recognise that I have no right whatsoever to expect them to hop to it, but I am always free to criticise their work whether it is free or not. Just because a project is open source doesn&#x27;t mean nobody can utter a bad word about it.
