That's been my beef for decades with open source projects. No ownership. No liability.

But then the fanboys try to spin it into a positive thing. If you're not happy, you have the source and can fix it yourself! How awesome. I'm now also responsible for someone's abandoned pet project.

Save me the "then pay someone for it" diatribe--in that case, it may as well be closed-source. Because as a developer who's got a schedule to meet, whether it's open source or not is irrelevant.
