Agreed. The parent's comment's last line contradicts most of the argument.

Releasing it for 'free' is the not the same as an equitable Open Source license.

It's open source meets the real world. We aren't all hippies who can sit around at MIT.

It's nothing like open source; it's proprietary software that attempts to leverage the goodwill of the “open source” label without adhering to what that label means.

Look, if open source doesn't work for your business situation, that's fine, just don't lie about being committed to open source where you are truly only committed to your own profits, all while making disparaging portrayals of the people who actually are committed to open source.
