Did you buy support from the author? As the author of an unrelated open source project, I receive an enormous amount of messages from people feeling entitled to receive support for free on the pretext it's open source. Answering and following up on those message could well be a full time job in itself except it doesn't pay for my bills
I am sure the creator of Commento is happy you are here exacting vigilante justice against his customers for their imaginary entitlement.
I signed up for a free trial of his commento.io service, and immediately tried to integrate it with my static site.
When I ran into difficulties (bad responses from commento.io) I contacted support.
If I had got it working, I would have gladly paid him, and I would still be paying him.
I think I was within my rights to request a modicum of support during the free trial period for a paid product, and then to not pay for it when I did not receive a response.
In this context, I find your story about some open source project you have to be quite irrelevant.
