That's what he is doing: simply walking away.
But he doesn't owe you anything, and that'exactly what you are getting.
It's astonishing how some people feel entitled to other people's life work. It's like you believe others owe you everything just because you like their work.
he's walking away, but before he does he decides to brick up the door he was holding. that's ok though because the house has lots of other doors that are based on the door he was holding open, all people have to do is to go through the effort to find the best version of the door that is most like the door he was holding open before that he's bricked up and thus is not available for comparison anymore.
I certainly think he had the right to do what he did, and the people who were rude deserved to have the door bricked up, but the people who read the notices he put up before hand about how he was holding open the door and it was a good way into the house might feel he is sort of a jerk.

If you're interested in the project you can still access the source code.
Hell, the author asked for volunteers to pick up where he left off.
Yet, you're only complaining that he is no longer working for you and complying with your personal whims.
That's the problem. A guy volunteers himself and donates his expertise and work to give you a gift, and in return some moochers just want to mooch off of him and, worse, attack him for not complying with their whims.
