  There are many people who use the software, for free, to monitor their own non-competing software projects (it turns out that overwhelmingly most people aren't competing with Sentry).

You could also open up a ticket on GitHub, or do nothing at all and just continue to use free software as-is without contribution. It sounds like you aren't a user and have very little incentive to contribute. So I agree, don't!
