I agree. There's a cost to then having to manage the community and being forced to design by committee. There's a lot of control to lose for the developer in respecting user's liberty. If the code isn't GPL'd or (MPL'd or open-core'd), there's a real and present danger of established firms forking it and making it their own. That is-- if I'm being skeptical and allowed the liberty to make sweeping generalisations-- there's a lack of ethics with everyone else in this industry.
