    Linus owes you, nor anybody not signing his paycheck, a goddamed thing.

    No, he owes the community to fulfill his role in this community project. He’s not a king or a monarch or whatever you think he is. If he’s not ready to fulfill this role, he should step down as project lead.

      Not really. He owes nobody his labor. If people don’t like how he runs it, they can fork, and run it as they please.

      He’s not a king or a monarch or whatever you think he is.

      Of course he’s not. And, neither are you. Neither of you can place demands on others to perform free labor.

      If he’s not ready to fulfill this role, he should step down as project lead.

      Well, he thinks he is fulfilling his role. You don’t. So, its up to you to show everyone how to do it right.

      I’ve found most people who claim others “aren’t doing it right” actually mean that “they aren’t doing it how I want it to be done, and therefore I demand they do the work per my spec, even though I’m not meeting any of their material needs.”
