I like this idea! Free for small and paid for medium/big. I think the real wisdom lies in taking the middle path (mostly). I recently read how babel, a project used by millions, struggled to keep few full-time developers. It was heart-breaking. Great developers gets glued to the idea of open-for-all at the cost of practicality. It's kind of like how people say "follow your passion" but realistically this approach only works for a a very tiny percentage and rest just struggle to pay their bills.
But I am sure some projects out there must have taken this middle path. It would be interesting to know how it worked out for them.
