This is what IBM demands from open-source developers. Meanwhile, they cried about the RHEL source code and called those distro users freeloaders or parasites. Anyway, FLOSS devs don’t own anyone anything. If you need support, pay for the contract. The sad thing is IBM/RHEL said they need to pay for their devs, and when you take it free, it is hard to maintain enterprise distro, but when it comes to other FLOSS devs/projects, they don't think the same logic applies.

The commenter at GitHub demands that fixed issue be because their enterprise client needs to fix it ASAP. The original dev replied if you need urgent fix, get a contract.
Then IBM employee (orignal commenter at GitHub) escalated the matter further, writing an email about how rude or unprofessional the FLOSS dev is.
