Someone has to maintain that software. Doesn't matter if it's open source, open core, or paid, someone has to maintain it. Just because something may not be open source doesn't mean you should shy away from it, on the contrary it might be better supported in the long run than an open source project that doesn't have a monetization/support model. People want to get paid for their work, this notion of OSS maintainers being saints who work for free may fly for small hobby projects, but once shit gets real and folks are slamming you for bug/feature requests it gets old, fast.
