    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.

    a. 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

    b. 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.

    c. 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.

        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!

              Lol why? You don’t give a shit. No one who has commented in this exchange does.

              And that’s fine as far as it goes, but let’s not be disingenuous and pretend we’re righteous.

              Forget it, Jake. It’s the internet.

                  Telling you I’m not going to answer you because I don’t believe you care and it’s a waste of at least my own time isn’t dodging your question. I told you exactly. Waste of time.

                  I owe you nothing.

                    Then I don’t know why you’re here in the first place.

                    I suggest you delete your comments if you’re going to attack people ad hominem by calling them a “cry baby” instead of clearly stating your opinion and refuse to have a conversation about it. You won’t have people replying to you about a conversation you don’t want to have.

                    As you said, it’s a waste of your time, and a waste of everyone else’s time.
