Your need does not instill responsibility in others simply because they are able to meet it. Where you have a need, *you* have a responsibility to meet it. If you need software, you can meet that responsibility by paying for the software, or by participating in its development (for example). How you meet that need is entirely your decision. However, making demands of people who offer their labor for free creates a toxic community. Please don't do that. When you make exchanges in life, you are free to negotiate the terms of that exchange before it is made. When you receive something without making an exchange in return, the thing you've received is a gift, and nothing more.
