It really isn't that complicated. You could just lie too if it isn't beneath you. If I am looking to update a site for a client and see software that I need, and the author is asking for $$ for commercial use, and the client is willing to pay, I will respect that. Presumption of conflict and safeguards against it, or just giving up, has caused a lot of great projects to be abandoned in my opinion. If you go to github and the source is already there, the source is open. Any definition of open source beyond that is political and legal. And with that source being open, you could just copy it without even reading the license.
