This is such a WordPress thing, to count how much free labor it is entitled to from others.

For most of Automattic’s existence it contributed zero to PHP (asked by me and answered before), just recently threw some money at the new PHP Foundation.

So much open source WP relies on and the conversation is never about giving back to them. Just to WordPress. Give, give, give. Or Matt will be unhappy with you, you don’t want Matt to be unhappy with you.

Parasite much?

There is no such thing as “under-performing contributor” in open source. They don’t work for you.

I don’t know is there sustainable model for open source, it is clearly in crisis, and corporate interests clearly warp it. But declaring one project’s special entitlement to specific amount of free labor and policing it by angry dude outbursts isn’t one I am for.
