I have long thought that what the broader zeitgeist considers "open source" has diverged significantly from the OSI definition. Many don't even really know it exists, much less consider it. This aspect is one of them. The author is absolutely right that it does not, but I think many people's expectation of a modern open source project is that it provides them.

I’m not disagreeing with you. I just think it’s amazing that people expect ANYTHING from stuff provided to them for free.

I will admit, I do have some expectations of the free software I use. I expect it won’t “rm -rf” my files, or mine Bitcoin.

But builds? Open governance? Maintenance? Good grief, what basis would I have to expect any of that from something for which I paid absolutely nothing?
