> you aren't held hostage by someone else for a library you depend on
Is this really the way you look at open-source libraries that are given to you for free, i.e. as a gift? I hope you look differently at gifts people give you in real life.
I wrote open source libraries and frameworks for years. some successful, some not. I never bitched about it, I did it to give back and because I loved it.
