The way I understood it, he just has different priorities now. It's not like he always wanted to do the community supported solution and decided to do the closed source one. He apparently made this decision recently.
It still sounds like he's just reacting to his current situation, rather than doing because of his ideals.

Why did he in fact sign an agreement barring him from competing in that sector?
I can't understand how somebody who wants such a perfect world consistently painted himself into a corner from which he couldn't.
