    People just expect open source devs that do this shit in their free time with absolutely no compensation to bend over for them and do everything they please. The good thing about open source development is that you can just help with the development yourself.

      Yes, but no one can help this one developer because they changed the license. So now the project is just source available, not open source. They chose to be alone.

      I’d go further, you should help with the development. Seems like some people would rather spend hours hounding a developer to implement their thing, rather than figuring out how to do it themselves…

            Not a license expert but he changed the license to a more restricted one but did not ask contributors which the previous license may have required.

        Except the Duckstation developer changed the license to where they don’t accept contributions from others, so we couldn’t help even if we wanted to.
