Look, this all comes down to a simple thing: If you do Open Source you get Open Source - with all the up- and downsides this may mean for you. Upsides include that you may get community contributions (though that's not a given) and that many people will like your software more because they prefer Open Source. Downsides include that you can't force any user of your software to pay you. What you can't have is all the upsides without the downsides. Sorry.
