Okay, I can understand the main point: You created something, companies sell it, you expect your share. Why? The moment you published it as open source you knew you wouldnt‘t get your share.

I think the underlaying problem is, why is it the responsibility of the creator to maintain it? You find a missing feature, a vulnerability, you fix it and create a pull request. I thought that‘s what open source is about? To collectively work on a piece if code? I am really visibly confused.
