Nobody, because they're not supported! Yay.

The developer is responsible and should write a patch for the obsolete version instead of bullying people. The end.

You forgot "/s" on your post.

No, why? If I write stuff with a permissive licence, I don't expect users (Mint here) to obey my every order because I chose to change something in an old version.

No one has to work for free. If he's unhappy with end users, he can write a script to reject bug reports automatically.
