> if you use open source code in your code, you should expect there to be security vulnerabilities

You should be able.to fix them yourself

That's the premise of OSS

if you don't want to pay for a cab or a driver, you should be able to drive

[badloginagain]

You can fix them yourself, by duplicating the car and fixing it yourself. You can't force someone else to fix the locks on their car

The only guarantee OSS gives is

- full access to the source code

- full rights to modify it and use it as it was your own

There's no other guarantee.

So if someone writes some code that becomes highly popular, they have no obligation whatsoever to maintain it the way people want.

They don't even have to maintain it at all, if they don't want to!

It's out in the public, it's free, that's the end of the agreement on the creato's side.

If a writer gave away their writings for free, could people pretend that they write what people want them to write, the way they want?

Is it fair to judge the writer because the answer was "WONTFIX"?

But the reality is worse than that.

A lot of companies are literally making billions using OSS, but they are not paying for it, a lot of programmers are making a lot of money by assembling OSS for their clients, but they are not paying for it, hell most of them are not even contributing in _any_ way, what does entitle them to pretend the attention of the OSS maintainer or that the maintainer should act in a way or another, according to the "community" desires?
