| I get you might feel that way about it, but that’s not how it is. The strange thing is your reaction, don’t you think: If you see a proprietary source product and you think “what’s it hiding?” and if you can’t respect a boundary of not revealing source without projecting an imagined bad onto that, that’s just you, my dude, and I’m not responsible how you react at all. So you might wanna try to put your mistaken attitude on me, but really you need to own that. And your attitude seems mistakenly entitled. Also the trust issues are warrantless. And, in reality, if you look at my projects, the most important ones are not “open source”. You judged too quickly, without context, like many here and arrived at conclusions that are just not warranted. You shouldn’t be arguing with anyone about that because why you came to those doubts or conclusions is something you have to figure out yourself, it’s not something anyone else can help you with. > I’m just saying, a lot of folks started with pure motives and got poisoned along the way. That’s not how I see things. That’s not been my experience of the world. I understand if it’s been yours though. Poor you. I guess in that case my advice is just try to keep in mind that not everyone is gonna have the same kind of negative outlook as you and try to be understanding towards them. There’s a lot of good in the world if you open your eyes to it, I hope you find some. |
I’m responding to the change, as something worth scrutiny. You used to publish open source projects, now this is closed source. Why?

What mistaken attitude, what am I putting on you, and what is my “entitlement”?
> You judged too quickly > You shouldn’t be arguing > my advice is
Please stop dressing up your arguments as some kind of metaphysical commentary on my character. I don’t need advice, I didn’t judge you, and I didn’t plan on arguing. You built something, some people think it’s cool, a lot of people think it’s problematic. You want to keep it closed source, some people find that worrying.
Keep your faux pity for yourself, engage with me in good faith on the merits of the points I’m making, otherwise we’re done here.
