Rules:

  1. Be civil and nice.
  2. Try not to excessively repost, as a rule of thumb, wait at least 2 months to do it if you have to.

Yeah, I totally agree. I suspect that some people use it as an excuse because they don't actually want to publish the code.

I feel it's used as a minipulation tactic.

  1. FOSS people don't want to use closed source software.
  2. Lie and say you'll "consider" open source-ing later even though you have no intention of ever doing so.
  3. Profit.
