Brian, I rather think that it is a matter of personal choice, rather than source detail "needs" to be published.
I have my own reasons for publishing, and have no problem with people publishing my stuff, subject to the license. This is not to say that others should publish as well. I do not think it right to suggest to others that they should not publish sources either (you didn't - not quite) like I said it is a personal choice, and as such no explanation is needed.
