So? You as the original developer actively wanted to get away from it, don't care what happens to it afterwards.
I've never not cared about my code. And If I didn't care about users depending on it I'd feel like a monster.
I love the way of describing Free Software. Paraphrasing and I don't recall the source: "Not free as in speech or free as in beer. Free as in puppies." You can get a puppy for free but then you have to take care of it all the time, and it incurs costs like vet visits. Free Software can be the same way.
