I wonder how viable this tactic is?
Require all requestors to identify themselves as individual open source hobbyist or closed source commercial.
Refuse the closed/commercial work unless they make a monetary contribution.
The (A)GPL is a source code copyright. It doesn't force you to fix anyone's problem or even interact with them.
If the requestor is a business, it'll be an undesirable development burden to carry their own fork with their own patches. It probably makes business sense to pay instead of hiring their own compiler developer.
Might not make for the best community interaction though.
