> So Netflix expects open source community to pick up the maintenance tab?

Isn’t this the deal with all open source? They are giving something (the code and access to the project) in return for help maintaining it?

No one is being forced to do anything. It is not like there is some open source contributor somewhere now saying, “oh damn, now I have to maintain this, too?”

If people like it and find value in it, they can help contribute to the project in ways they want. Netflix gets to use those contributions, in return for letting people use their contributions. That is just how open source works.

If Netflix still heavily uses this internally, they should still do the most maintenance. Others contribute based on their own needs.
