I find it a bit sad/weird that so many people take what an open-source project gives out "as-is", without the notion of the entire thing being modifiable.
Say a project only allows to load 5 potatoes at a time into a pot, we can go there and bump that hardcoded limit into something more suitable to us.
Instead of thinking "welp that project can only load 5 potatoes, not suitable for me then will look for something else"
It becomes no different from proprietary solutions at that point...
@falktx You are right if the user is a programmer and know this specific language, know how to compile, and has the time to figure out everything. But if not, the barriers could be too big very fast.
Beside of this I totally agree with you. The source is open to manipulate.
