I agree with you and Jon on this, I don't think it would be wise to create second class citizens. Another worry would be actually alienating our sponsors. Currently much of our infrastructure and all of our bandwidth is sponsored by third parties. Would those third parties still want to sponsor us if we would charge for an "enterprise" version of the distribution (thereby following into redhat's footsteps (in the extreme))?
