Hate to see this, but there are definitely people who are takers and have the nerve to be entitled at the same time.

  1. You, as an open source maintainer owe nothing to anyone. Never feel compelled to do anything in your project that doesn’t make you happy.
  2. you should 100% be able to charge for your work. I applaud you for that.
  3. There are more of us out here who want to support open source int he right way. Know that.
  4. thank you for the project you made and shared. Truly.
