Nobody expects that. But people do reasonably expect a project to recieve updates, security fixes, and new releases.

I'm not disagreeing with you, you're just wrong.

It's not reasonable to expect a project to receive updates, security fixes, and new releases for software projects the author put on the Internet explicitly with a license saying it's warrantied for no purpose, both explicit and implicit.

  • I was going to present a fair rebuttal, but you’ve just convinced me that it’s unreasonable for you to expect any answer from me in this debate.

    • There's nothing to debate.

      Your starting point is to selectively ignore parts of the authors explicitly chosen license.

      It's sophistry.
