In reply to the first post, you clearly missed the point. MySQL for instance sells a version of its database with a commercial licence that lets the buyer create their own applications that they do not have to make available as open source; if you don't want to pay for the database you can take the open source version for free, but then you are bound by the open source licence that accampanies it. As we say: If you don't want it free, you're welcome to pay. And it works for MySQL, which is a growing commercial company.
