Michael No need to apologize :) As another user in this thread suggested - ultimately this is your company and you'll decide what is the best course of action to turn it into a profitable business. By all means do whatever is possible to make that happen and don't be afraid to experiment. I suggested a few ideas that could work and would basically allow you to enjoy from both world (both open sourcing your product and monetizing it) however I can understand if you think you don't have the time to get the kind of adoption you'd need to successfully open source it. Additionally this could be done backward - you could start with your current model and at some point once you are more economically confident switch to another model that is more open source friendly. Good luck! :)
