Yeah, there's a contingent that won't ever be happy with a commercial arrangement.
Just thinking about the way that version control was done for Linux before Git. The author of the system was happy to have people using it as long as no one reverse engineered the product that he was actively selling to customers. The reaction from the community was, "thanks for contributing your hard work...now I'm going to make a clone."
There's a sense of entitlement that really turned me off of open source *nix for a long time. That's just me though. I'm over it, it won...OSS won...free beats everything in the end.
