if you read my wording above correctly, I didn't mean or say that *you* were giving the finger, but open-source, and only as a super contextual sentence, not in general. The motivation of people is clearly to share in order to positively help.
I'm only saying that when (most) people will ask about availability of a so-called "product" (use quote, I don't mean any commercial stuff here, but actual instances of the dev. product), most people walk away stating that they aren't interested in doing that, which then results in even more frustration for the rest of the community who isn't going to do anything with the published info despite of their interest in the dev.
As for speed of development, and though I've been slowed down by production, I don't get paid to add features, and rarely begged. People just discuss and ask. That being said, I got recent requests that suggest or would require something more open, so that I don't have any stupid scripting language to implement just to provide more flexibility, so who knows...
