He misses out on another type of open source project: those supported by professionals as part of their day job, but that aren't directly related the core business of the company. For example, at my current job we need plupload, or something like it. If it didn't exist, we would be forced to create and maintain something like it. There's no reason why we wouldn't release the code as open source and then continue maintaining it as necessary for our software. The company wins, and so does everyone else.
