Hello. I only loosely understand the history of open source so I am asking this completely from a place of curiosity. Why should? What would this do? Do developers owe extra work to others? Is it just generally the appropriate thing to do with a creation like Subreply? Thank you.
Derrick
by open sourcing a pet project like this, the developer can share more than just the presentation of the product (which we are using) but also the full extent of engineering that powers it... you already grasp that part, so the question of incentive or who owes what - @lucian obviously owes nobody anything - but if he did [and now i ironically hit the limit so cannot expand much more; but if his code was open we could take a look at how to do such things as extending limits!]

china's hardly a communist country in its modern form. more like a very authoritarian capitalism.
Derrick
authoritarian: bingo - not saying there is a perfect 'system' but at least capitalism allows some potential for independence from an authoritarian state by means of accumulating wealth for oneself (ie- to escape or pay bribes to live comfortably within). Either way, the point is - you give your power (tax dollars, freedoms) to any 'system' and it will be used against you; if not now then later by opportunistic infiltrators.

a lot of those numbers are overblown but you're right in that the previous (well-known) implementations of communism were atrocious. but that's not really a realistic fear, is it? dozens of authors smarter than you or me have published books detailing war crimes committed by the USSR and chinese states, i haven't heard of them being eliminated in such a manner

ah nah man, as a commie i can tell you: if someone wants to kill you for knowing something, they aren't a communist. the whole point is for knowledge to belong to the people
