The burden of OSS is dealing with PRs that you don't want to merge. The drive by bug fixes don't compensate for that.

There is no obligation to maintain, no obligation to merge. Copyright is just that, copy right, it’s not an entitlement.

Free as in beer and free as in speech means those ‘contributors’ are also free as in Linus to go fork themselves.

Don’t like it? Go fork, yourself. Want it different? Pay, money, make, it, happen. Don’t like paying? Go fork, yourself, harder.
