> If you are relying on unpaid open source code for commercial work, you should fully understand what that means for you:

I don't want to say "easier said than done" but... imagine doing `npm install` for like... Webpack, React. Start adding a few React related libraries

You're talking exposure to... hundreds (thousands) of "free" open source projects.

Obviously nobody owes anything to anybody in terms of "let me dedicate my free time away from my family/friends/my other hobbies/my personal sanity" to make sure the package I publish online is as perfect as possible. It just gets muddy/gray.

Is there a sense of entitlement for the unpaid generosity of library providers? Almost surely. "You published something, it got popular, now you are telling everybody who needs help fix it yourself or f*ck off".

It's just a weird source of conflict. People publish packages hoping they get used/become popular. Then they got popular and get overloaded by issues/requests and either embrace it or get combative.
