本来并不打算保护你的保修
这不是年轻人第一次问我：“为什么开源软件总是说‘不提供担保’？”显然，我不需要详细解释开源许可证的法律术语，但我可以解释背后的原因。今天，又有一个新手问我。
我停顿了一下，思考这次该如何清楚地表达。我不是录音机，不喜欢一遍又一遍地重复同样的事情。就在这时，脑海中突然响起一个声音：
“让我给你讲个故事。留着喝咖啡时再说。”
没错，我的老朋友艾伦——如果你还记得他的话。这个家伙总是沉默，直到找到一个足够犀利的故事，像零日漏洞一样穿透争论。经典的艾伦。
修复完一个bug后，我们朝零食区走去。
坦白说，我并不是浓缩咖啡的粉丝——但这是唯一能喝的东西。
“我来泡点茶。普洱茶和樱桃蛋糕很搭。”
“我说的是咖啡时间。”
好吧，老派的人发话了。

It’s not the first time a young man asks me: “Why does FOSS always say ‘no warranty’?” Obviously, I’m not expected to unpack the legalese of open source licenses, but I can explain the reason behind it. Today, a newbie, again.<p>I paused, thinking how to make it clear this time. I’m not a tape recorder, I hate repeating the same thing over and over. Then suddenly, a voice hit the back of my head:<p>“Let me tell you a story. Save it for coffee break.”<p>Yeah, my old pal Allen — if you still remember him. The guy who stays silent until he finds a story sharp enough to pierce through an argument like a zero-day. Classic Allen.<p>After fixing a bug, we headed to the snack area.<p>Frankly, I’m not a fan of espresso — but it’s the only thing available.<p>“I’ll make some tea. Pu’er goes well with cherry cake.”<p>“I said coffee break.”<p>Alright. Old-school guy speaks.<p>https://www.gizvault.com/archives/warranty-never-protect-you
