You said "only people who pay for my software get access to it". I was pointing out that anyone your customers choose to share your software with get access to

  Sorry, I let out the words "from me" because I thought it was implied. I don't share this open source software. I sell it. freshhawk listed two categories: 1) a "dump of useful stuff" with "no responsibility to maintain it" by people who are "nice enough to share." I don't fit in that because a) I include a year of support in the sale, and b) I don't share it, I sell it. 2) "Then there are actual projects. A person or group saying 'Here is a problem we all share. ... I will do some management work on this in return for your contributions and my name being prominent'". I don't expect trade in kind, I expect money. Just like proprietary software vendors (especially those who distribute sources). Thus I consider myself as a member of group #3.
