This does not matter in the slightest; your only obligations to other entities are self-imposed. Using a developer's piece of code does not confer an additional right to that developer's time.

I didn't _start_ writing code because of money, and I'd still be writing code on my own even if I weren't being paid to do it. I know this because I code on my own without being paid to do it, only work on things that are interesting to me, and I don't have a problem dropping a project if I'm no longer interested in it.

Go work for one of those companies then? Seems like a win-win.
