I did release an open source project, but then eventually I removed my contact info and added a note to ask people to please stop emailing me with their problems, because I was getting way too many requests for help from self-entitled users who thought that i was somehow required to support them in using my free tool.

Another time, I fixed an open source tool to work correctly in the cloud environment that my company was using. They then listed my patched version in their wiki and made it sound like it was an officially supported tool on their platform. The result was that I got flooded with requests from their customers, so I had lots of work helping their customers but I received no cut of the revenue.
