These are often ambitious hobbyists who have quite some free time for their hobby, but little money (also since they don't earn money by using the CAD program).
The most rational choice would in my opinion to sell very cheap licenses without any support to these people: you don't loose any money because they wouldn't be customers for the expensive licenses anyway; on the other hand, because of some of these people's devotion, it makes the CAD software a possibly better choice for many companies because of the existence of more people to hire who know the software quite well.
