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.
This is all the time I have for this reply.
Which is the same amount of time you have to do anything other than
to tell others what to do, as if they needed your advice.
