<snip>We know your argument. Seriously, We've heard it everywhere all the time...end-less-ly. Everybody wishes that their software was robust with magic documentation and free specialists that will fix your problem or tell you what to do on demand. It doesn't always work out that way, though. Tough. You think you are owed an explanation of how everything you download and run works. That could be a mistake. These licenses generally state, "AS IS WITH NO WARRANTY OR MERCHANTABILITY OR FITNESS FOR A PARTICULAR PURPOSE". Its usually printed all or in part in all captial letters. If there is something that you want to see happen in free software, and the developers who are working for free (or paid by someone else to work on it contrary to your interests) aren't doing it, or aren't doing it fast enough to suit you, and you cannot or will not do it yourself, you still have recourse. It works similarly to, but not quite the same as, the proprietary model. Pay someone to do it for you. Then you'll have someone obligated to put up with your whinging. That is not us. --
