Sure. But that's compared to the 3-clause BSD situation currently where no one at all is getting the commercial benefit in the majority of cases.
And developers are already used to deferring to the main developer-- who is quite often the original author. In the rare case of Paul Davis subsisting on monthly donations in a free software project (Ardour), I have a hard time believing that people aren't submitting patches because he gets money.
