I used to agree with this, but it now seems a rather narrow view of how open source actually works. Open source projects tend to make a big deal about being a "community," and this is certainly true of many that are backed by commercial vendors. To me the use of community does imply mutual obligations between developers and users or the word has no meaning.

Unless, that is, you think community is just a synonym for "marketing funnel."
