For a good open source ecosystem, a commission isn't like rent, it is more like taxes.
There's a balance point where paying someone else to debug and ship fixes for your problems approximates Adam Smith's pin factory.
The value part of an enterprise open source system is in turning around fixes fast and debugging on behalf of a customer.

As someone who's worked with Rob before, he gets it that you can't really squeeze money out by force.
However, there'll be enough people who pay you to air-drop committers on inexplicable problems & otherwise mostly pay them well to do what they already like doing - ship open source to the community.
