One line summary: DRM-free, licensed-for-commercial-use, source code.
I like the idea, strongly. But I am a bit apprehensive about how the projects that sign up for this may exploit it; especially considering how some projects put up a facade of being open while important bits and portions remain closed.
On the other hand, if such a project becomes used to being paid for its visible-source bits, and paid a bit more for the hidden-source bits, I suspect they'd see little incentive to remain on the Supported Source platform and instead move entirely to hidden-source. "They're paying for it anyway. Why give away our code for cheaper, when we can keep it and charge more!"
