Some very large entities have become quite open about them only wanting to take but contribute nothing back in the open source and adjecent spaces. While working on one of my former projects I also received requests for several hundred hours worth of compliance work from rather well-known entities. When I asked via back channels if they would be open to funding some of that work I got a clear "no" as a reply. This was one of the contributing factors why I decided to hand that project off. If you maintain a project, it may be cool to hear the big names using something you make for free, but consider what they are asking for and if you are putting yourself in potential legal liability by providing said compliance work. They have money to spend and if it's important enough, they will.
