  There’s zero responsibility or liability on open source work. Specifically, this is licensed as CC BY-NC-ND 4.0, which has the following clauses:

  Section 5 – Disclaimer of Warranties and Limitation of Liability.

  Unless otherwise separately undertaken by the Licensor, to the extent possible, the Licensor offers the Licensed Material as-is and as-available, and makes no representations or warranties of any kind concerning the Licensed Material, whether express, implied, statutory, or other. This includes, without limitation, warranties of title, merchantability, fitness for a particular purpose, non-infringement, absence of latent or other defects, accuracy, or the presence or absence of errors, whether or not known or discoverable. Where disclaimers of warranties are not allowed in full or in part, this disclaimer may not apply to You. To the extent possible, in no event will the Licensor be liable to You on any legal theory (including, without limitation, negligence) or otherwise for any direct, special, indirect, incidental, consequential, punitive, exemplary, or other losses, costs, expenses, or damages arising out of this Public License or use of the Licensed Material, even if the Licensor has been advised of the possibility of such losses, costs, expenses, or damages. Where a limitation of liability is not allowed in full or in part, this limitation may not apply to You. The disclaimer of warranties and limitation of liability provided above shall be interpreted in a manner that, to the extent possible, most closely approximates an absolute disclaimer and waiver of all liability.

  Bref, the developer doesn’t owe anyone anything beyond what is stated in the CC BY-NC-ND 4.0 license, the GitHub TOS and the local laws where the developer lives.

    Dude seems like a troll, just quit feeding it, downvote him and move on. Engaging just makes them more persistently stupid.

      Oh, 100% troll, I’m just enjoying watching them dig their own hole and run out of responses.

    You don’t seem to understand what I’m saying, but that’s ok.

    • isVeryLoud@lemmy.ca ⁨8⁩ ⁨months⁩ ago

      No, I understand exactly what you’re saying, you’re stating that people doing free work owe you things, and I’m stating that the licence absolves them of all obligations you claim they have.

      Besides, you have not stated on what basis the developer “owes” you support besides attacking them and other commenters in this thread on an ad hominem basis.

      If you wanted guaranteed support, you could ask the original author if you can get a maintenance and support contract for their application, where the limits and costs of that support are outlined in the contract.

        The first line is so completely, utterly wrong. XD thus not bothering with the rest.

        Thanks for playing and better luck next time!
