The word obligation is not as narrow as you're using it:

obligation /ŏb″lĭ-gā′shən/

noun A social, legal, or moral requirement, such as a duty, contract, or promise, that compels one to follow or avoid a particular course of action. "Are you able to meet your obligations?" "I have an obligation to attend their wedding."

Does he have a contractual obligation? No, no contracts were signed. Does he have a legal obligation? No, the license file in the project absolves him of legal liability.

But he absolutely has a moral, social, and professional obligation to do so.
