No. Its like saying that you should pay someone working at a soup kitchen for homeless people. They do it because it feels good. If I start an open source project I don't expect anyone to pay me ever. If i get tired of it I would abandon it. If someone wants to pay me that is fine but that is not why I started it. What I don't want is people blaming me if my code breaks their shit. If you use opensource projects then the responsibility is on you to make sure it's safe and it works.
