Begin rant: I'm going to be the one who says it. I am frankly tired of the sense of developer entitlement. We get so much amazing and great work from people, yet it never seems to be enough for some. They bitch about semantic details, style choices, lack of support, and yet refuse to pay for quality services. Instead, they cockily spout "...why would I pay for that when I can just code it myself?" I think this mentality is what separates these sort of developers from entrepreneurs. Entrepreneurs will pay for services happily that make their lives and business easier and improved, while entitled developers will just "hate" on the technical merits or "poo poo" the language, framework, or design decisions. On to the OPs question, no you don't have a responsibility to maintain anything you give away to the community.
