There's no guarantee that a commercial license will be available at a reasonable fee, or available at all. You'll have nothing to negotiate with because the alternative is to rewrite or shut down immediately.

Isn't that true of anything?
At renewal software provider X might hike license fees for Y to an unreasonable fee, or decide you're not worth the time at all.
I assume you can get a commercial license at any point, not only after you reach X revenue too?
That's not the same thing. And quite frankly, if you're making over $1 million in annual revenue you should be able to afford the license fee for the most important part of your company.
