   Guys, I have strong opinions on this.

   #FreeSoftware is a gift.
   As such it binds the receivers more than it binds the #hacker that create it.

   It's totally fine to provide suggestions, new ideas and patch.

   It's totally fine to #fork a project.

   It's WRONG to try to impose your will to #hackers. It can not go well. You either annoy the hacker enough to make it stop the development or subdue his creativity hurting whole #humanity.

   FORKS ARE FINE.
   FORK IT.

     This also means: if you want #FreeSoftware that works in a specific way and you don't want to code it yourself (maybe learning what you ignore in the process) there is ONE way to act: pay a team of developers to develop it according to your specification.

     Even this, is totally fine and welcome, EVEN if they fork the original software.

     But people are not entitled to free work from volunteers and hackers.
