Did I said like that. No. What I said was that it is not the OSS's
responsibility to make the source available to all, because their
product is GPLd. Their responsibility ends when they deliver the source
to the customer who have paid them.
I know ethically this may be not good. But compare to the proprietary
world. Then the work of OSS is very appreciative then. I hope I am
able to convey my ideas exactly.
Any one can get the source from any OSS's customer. I dont get the
point why you insist they them-self should make it avbl for all. If
you/anybody need it .... you may go and get it. Why you demand it
should be delivered at your doorsteps at their cost.
IMHO this type of attitudes make our country still a developing
country. If somebody do some thing good ... try to appreciate it.. if
that is not possible better dont blame them.
