free-riding

If you're gonna have that kind of attitude, then you don't really care about user freedom.

Yup. Just another greedy company trying to instill the warm and fuzzies in prospective customers and benefit from unpaid members of the public fixing their bugs with the "open source" branding.

Good. Users aren't the ones spending countless hours coding, debugging, and testing their apps. And they shouldn't give a shit about internet keyboard warriors and their ideals.

don't like it? write your own code.
