> Well to be fair, if you release something to the public you do have a certain responsibility. At least to provide a running configuration without the documentation being behind a payment.

If it's free, you have zero responsibility. People can choose to use it or not, I don't think you even have a responsibility to keep it running.

If you have a hundred thousand users and you decide tomorrow to just yank it from existence, that's absolutely fine too.

It's free, no one forces you to use, don't expect anything. The maintainer might get bored with it, delete it, accidentally break it, or change it just for shits and giggles to fuck with people.

It's fine. It's free.
