So, would you rather have me hoard this into my local workspace until forgotten? Or release it in the open since I will be working on a project that actually pays money. At least if somebody will be building something similar he/she can look up at this code and maybe make a derivative out of it.

I agree that dumping a project in the hopes that someone else will swoop in to do the hard part is a pipe dream. OP is going to find out quickly that it just doesn't happen.

But you lost me here. I don't see how most developers would think there's some issue with dumping code on Github.

For example, I could recommend some avenues for finding useful software that aren't trawling through random Github projects, if that's the problem. If Github had 100x more dead projects, it really shouldn't affect anyone.
