I do not think I'm entitled to more that you are willing to give for free. However, I'm entitled to suspect your software may include malware, spyware and/or adware and thus choose not to use it. It has nothing to do with releasing the source per-se. It has everything to do with the fact that experience shows that there are only two goals for producing software: money or reputation. And free software without sources rarely fits the latter. I'm not saying that's your case, but I'm saying this is my default stance.
