Agreed, and I covered this in a few replies, I should have put it in my main comment, CYA is the entire reason. I'm not saying a business surrounding an open source project can't make money. I am saying trying to make money by locking away features is a bad way to do it. Focus on your product and do it in a single stream rather than separating it into FOSS and a paid tier. Make your money on support contracts. Smaller companies that self-support probably won't pay you for those features anyways.
