I know. I also have a GPL project. Nonetheless some societies use it, and some people rely on it to get paid. I have absolutely no legal contract with anyone but I have a moral contract and when I'm signaled a bug, it is mostly fixed within few hours. I just can't imagine replying to a bug submission "Hey guy, its a free project. Why don't you fix it yourself ?" My conscience tells me to not release a program if people using it can shoot themself in the foot. > For many it is more fun to implement new stuff they probably > "need" than fixing bugs in some code which has some side effects which > are not always easy to predict and which they actually don't use. If you followed the thread you have seen the reduced test case is VERY short and the ONLY constructions involved are user functions and exceptions. FULL STOP. Not even a single addition nor a loop nor nothing. I can't imagine nobody uses user functions and exceptions. -- PHP Internals - PHP Runtime Development Mailing List To unsubscribe, visit: http://www.php.net/unsub.php
