The article frames the maintainer as some kind of morally dubious person, as though they owe their code to the world. Did any of them pay to use the library? No? Cool, stfu and pin an older version of it.
Also, maybe next time you can do yourself and the rest of the world a favor by actually reviewing what your LLM will do before it does it. Or, I don’t know, just write the tests yourself I guess.
Also, if your management is breathing down your neck and forcing you to use AI, tell your management to go fuck themselves (maybe in nicer words if you want to keep your job, but hey, you can definitely burn their spare cash while meeting their idiotic quotas if you really need to know what time it is every second or two in the most inefficient and ecologically destructive way currently known to mankind).

The law fortunately does not require payment before you have any moral responsibility to others.
You can’t put “free apples!” outside your farm, and then when people who eat the actually poisoned apples die say “well, did they pay me for them?”
Nobody died.
The equivalent would be putting free apples with a sticker on them saying “please squeeze the juice out of these apples all over your shirt”.
