Or if it, as many companies with more than $1 million in revenue do, develops open source software.

Or you are a professional developer working on software which is licensed under an OSI-approved open-source license.

Yes, yes, Richard Stallman... I saw your other reply already. :)

While a valid point, surely you would acknowledge that it is a fairly small niche case? I imagine that overwhelmingly, the more common scenario is people using Community to work on non-open source software, simply because they don't fully understand the license terms (or don't care).
