I suppose the thing is, I personally wouldn't care much if anyone else used it or not, my itch has been scratched. If someone else finds it of use, great! If they need changes, they've got the code and can get crackin' on it themselves. Or, they can pay me to do it if we can agree on a price. Outside of that I have no expectations.

As I understood it, one of the foundations of open source development is scratching your own itches, then putting what you made up for grabs in case it scratches someone else's. There shouldn't be any expectation of support on your part beyond an email or two. The code's out there if they want to scratch the itch a different way. It's kind of a homesteader ethic.
Big, dumb, ugly, and prone to running into walls? Yeah, I guess the comparison of Tesla to Juggernaut holds up.
As they should. Hell, they should sue to get their money back.
I'm not seeing any consequences listed for failure to comply.
You seem highly interested in whether I would have purchased one or not. What a weird comment.
In fact, I would not. But even if I would, this bullshit would be a deal breaker. It's basically saying "we know you're going to regret this purchase, but we're going to put a barrier in place to keep you from dealing with it." That's a gigantic red flag for any product.
Fun fact, I could give a fuck what they want.
There are multiple deal-breakers, yest.
I borrowed your mom's Zune.
It would be funny as shit if everyone just left the top of the ticket blank and voted straight blue otherwise. Trump gets in and finds unsurmountable Democratic majorities in both houses, and they immediately impeach and remove him.
Bernie has never given a fuck, except about shit that matters.
