@blacklight @noa while I totally agree with your point I disagree on who "we" are and what "responsibility" means

Should I personally go redesign all FreeCAD/Gimp/Emacs UI to make it more accessible?

Or should I maintain full test coverage on a fun thing I ended up publishing on srht in 2018 that has 0 users?

When and on what responsibility kicks in?

@blacklight @noa Honestly I think we are all on the same page here

If you say "I am cool FOSS project I will beat ProprietaryCompetitorX, give me your money" - you probably should work on being as accessible as possible, just by your public contract, I totally agree with that.

But I just want to say that this contract is not implicit for all FOSS. Did not publicly said this - bear no responsibility, do whatever.

@blacklight @noa I, personally, draw a line even little further.

I consider myself resposible for my direct sponsors, people who are actually involved by paying money, contributing code etc. And I want to be attractive for new sponsors, just because I need more money hah

In my mind I do not held responsibility for anyone else. Overthing on "greater good" makes me go into a downward spiral of "not being good enough" and I am just not doing anything at all, which is not good for anyone.
