It's how they make money, but it is sad from an OSS developer perspective. At least they didn't offer it and then remove it like TypeSafe did with their Slick/MSSQL driver.

I've written a thing about this kind of business model: http://penguindreams.org/blog/the-philosophy-of-open-source-...

Why is that sad? Modsecurity sources are freely available on github - and nginx.com emails are seen in the commits.
