So you're saying that you shouldn't criticize others just because they're giving it away for free?
If you question that others shouldn't complain about other things then we quickly end up in a world where movie critics can't criticize a movie since they didn't pay for them. Where I can't criticize google since their services are for free.
You should always speak up and voice your opinion. But your argument "don't complain, take it or leave it; it's for free" can't be applied anywhere IMO. In fact, the author should be thankful for any critique he's getting. Not getting any feedback means that nobody cares about your work or doesn't care about you failing.

Not really. It's like the movie critic spotlighting a comment the director passed on set. Or you bitching about a comment in Google's C++ code you saw on a Googler's laptop. You know, you don't have to care about that stuff. Just use it!
