That's a good thing. Either launch a closed proprietary product from the get go or commit to maintaining a real open source project. You can't have all the monetary advantages of the first while enjoying the goodwill and community support of the second.

This attitude will just lead to pretty much every product being closed and proprietary. Which sucks for me, because I like to be able to read the source and run modified versions of tools I use, and have no interest in creating competitive derivations of them. So I think it's a shame that people who try to make software like that get pilloried for being neither proprietary enough (which is apparently fine...) nor open enough.
