[QUOTE="blackice, post: 1102290, member: 79035"] Open source isn’t a magical panacea. Most projects are run by people working themselves into the ground until they either can’t afford to do it anymore or aren’t healthy enough anymore. And everybody hollers about how safe open source code is, but nobody is checking that stuff. That’s why recently projects like xz utils have been compromised and people act surprised. I can’t blame a company for trying to stay profitable, nor can I blame a customer for trying to save money. The current landscape for software is pretty dire. Personally I would rather subscribe to Macrium than chase free projects constantly jumping ship as they go under. But, who knows Macrium could also go under. And I am tired of subscriptions, too.
