@reidrac @nihilazo @efraim @calcifer In my view, they have *some* responsibility not to promote the program as more polished and suitable for particular uses than it actually is.
But "don't share anything unless you're willing to do free support" is just a horribly destructive position.

@dalias @nihilazo @efraim @calcifer totally agree. Strictly speaking, the OSS licences don't cover support. They tend to focus on distribution, but there's always a disclaimer re: responsibility.
I've been using and producing open source since the late 90s and I never assumed the devs had to provide support, and I was always grateful when it happened (even on a mailing list, thanks to other users). The way expectations have changed is very interesting.
