Why maintain, publicize, and promote an open source project if you're not willing to maintain it?

I also work in a highly regulated industry. IBM's request is reasonable.

Why use an open source project if it doesn't meet your standards?

Do your own work, or pay someone to do it.

Why maintain it if you're not willing to maintain it? Great question. I think it answers itself.
I don't owe you anything. You can fork the project if to put feel like it. If not, fork off.
IBM's request would be reasonable if they already had a support contract.

As-is, as-is means as-is.
