As a moral obligation, yes. But as a law? I see so many ways this will go wrong and not be helpful.

So you think that, for example, every single person who uses LibreOffice is morally obligated to contribute code to the project? Even though the vast majority of them don't even know how to code?

No. Not obviously not every person is obliged to give back to every project they ever remotely used.

But in general, yes. One receives and one can give back.

And contributions can be way more than code. Documentation, testing, good bug reports, moderating forums, hosting events for a coding session, ... or just money.
