And "user/tester" rights?
Problematic.... to a degree all consumers are users and can/do provide
feedback. I'm not unsympathetic, just unsure of where the
"responsibility" lies, particularly with FOSS - and wary of unrealistic
expectations.
Since analogies are being deployed:- If I find a piece of machinery
unsatisfactory I will let the manufacturer know - but getting a say in
the direction of the company, even when overlooking the problems of
satisfying a diversity of opinion, is not possible without at least the
purchase of a share or a position in the company. I could organise a
protest in the car park - but if my demands are unreasonable I may
succeed in changing the company direction at the cost of driving the
business - out of business.
Just some thoughts on the difficulties that would have to be dealt with
to achieve a successful outcome - for all involved.
Kind regards
