[prespic]

NPOI Version

2.7.1

Reproduce Steps

Go to https://github.com/nissl-lab/npoi-examples

Issue Description

In readme.md file is this link to npoi-examples repository:
[NPOI examples](https://github.com/nissl-lab/npoi-examples)

But there is not a repository with this name. It also cannot be found by search.

So where are the examples for NPOI? Did they move somewhere? Disappears? Or never existed?

The author said he make it private.

You shloud tell the whole story.
Author said he make it private. Because he is thinking of how to monetize it.

For me, the author has lost their credibility.

I can tell the whole story.

Root cause
I found someone in the community are not willing to read the examples. They just keep asking unnecessary beginner questions about NPOI. These questions can be solved if they read these examples. It looks if the examples are paid, they are more willing to read them because it costs some money. Free things are usually wasted because people believe they cost nothing. Just like the food from food bank.

For me, the author has lost their credibility.

NPOI has been kept totally free for the past 16 years. Until now, it's still free. I just make the npoi-example repo private. I don't think you should say words like this. This did offend me. I believe the credit of an opensource project is to make it safe and stable to use. That's all.

Open source is NOT about totally free. As open source authors, we also need someone's sponsorship because we are human instead of coding machines. We need to buy food, raise our family and some entertainment. We are using our spare time to work on these open source projects, not paid time. I can guarantee you I'm NOT the only author complaining about sponorship. There are a few in the community. And there are some famous cases: fake.js author, Moq author.
