If this doesn't track well, I suggest you repost indicating, in subject, that they're also withholding the patch from the OSS version.

I'm not sure how to write the subject that way, within character limits, but there is zero outrage at charging $$ for OSS contributions, so the subject seems very "meh".

After all, millions of companies do that.

TBH the new title suggested me that they were charging $$ for merging the PR

The specific outrage in this case is that the open core doesn't get the feature, even though it was developed by an outsider. That is certainly not common, and not the expectation of contributors.
