<i>I want to get the point across that open source maintainers owe you quite literally nothing</i><p>The only way you should use open source for any business purpose is if you are prepared to fully support it yourself or you are prepared to enter into a &quot;business contract&quot; for support. Otherwise, you may have no support when things go wrong.
