As far as I see it, requiring copyright attribution restricts the developer community, while providing commercial add-ons doesn’t restrict anyone anywhere, it just says that some of my code isn’t free.

I also think that companies can charge for addons.They have to make a living.The problem is too many companies try to be OSS but they do not actually realize that you need to eat and pay bills.Commercial support is also an option like you said,but not even canonical is making a profit with that.It is not difficult to monetize OSS but is definitely not easy.

To me, community is the big differentiator. If a given OSS project doesn’t actually care enough about a community, then open core is basically a sales tool.

It is true that the copyright attribute might cripple the ability of other developers. But from the orginal developers point of view, isn't it nice to get at least some credit for the original work and the hours spend on producing the software?
I guess a non-forced copyright attribution is fine.

I agree with your evaluation about Tarus's market. It appears that once a technology goes open-source, and the open-source implementation is good enough, the commercial products are either forced to change their model or they have to over-market their products. In monitoring, there are a bejillion solutions and they're all pretty much the same. Differentiation is style-based, not usually functionality.

So, our options are to grow so slowly that all of the interesting opportunities pass us by, or to start producing software that allows us to, at the least, recoup our development costs.

I think it's a shame for many developers who feel that they need to give tings away because no one wants to pay money for anything any more. Most people don't even donate any money to the developer.
