Apple deployed a library I wrote to every mac on the world, and additionally bundles it with Xcode.
Apple users reported some bugs, that‘s how I found out.
I never heard a word from them. No patches, no bug reports, nothing, they didn’t even bother to refresh the bundled version.
I think in the meantime they removed it from macOS but still bundle it with Xcode.
I mean, I didn’t any money, but some appreciation would’ve been nice, and a version refresh…
If you are curious: it is this library: https://github.com/ckruse/CFPropertyList
Edit: appreciation as in: a mail with a notice that they did so.
MIT License
Hopefully, you learned your lesson.
Yeah, well. What should I say. I wanted to use it in a commercial project, too :)
You can use your library for commercial projects that you have. Just have dual license that requires payment for commercial use or something similar. You don’t have to pay yourself
I really wish we could have a license like if your revenue is 5mil + you have to kick in something to the devs
That is essentially what the “Post-Open Source” idea is trying to do.
