As has been mentioned already in this thread it is impractical to develop bug fixes (features maybe) in the commercial version - /paid/ by a customer who wants that fixed/implemented - and /not/ merging them back into the "main stream" (open source). So in my opinion this is a give-and-take situation: the "closed/commercial world gets changes "for no money" from the "open world" (and yes, with all the contractual fine print and the risk to transmogrify these changes into a locked box). In practise however the "closed development" will flow back into the "open world" sooner or later, for practical reasons outlined above. And hey: also for "no money" :) Win-win, no?
