I agree with Paul that it is a moral obligation, if I understood his post correctly. Besides, even if it is the "American way", which I am not sure I agree it is, that doesn't make it right. If I designed a circuit I would expect people to recognize the intellectual property rights unless I specifically said they could make one for their own use. I also don't believe that pirating software or music for your own use is ok either.
That said, I don't think it would be particularly wise to post a schematic in the public domain if you did not want it used by others. Some people don't, they just put it in the construction manual.
