FOSS has nothing to do with money or being skinflints.
We release FOSS products because we want the four freedoms:
- The freedom to run the program, for any purpose (freedom 0).
- The freedom to study how the program works, and change it to make it do what you wish (freedom 1). Access to the source code is a precondition for this.
- The freedom to redistribute copies so you can help your neighbor (freedom 2).
- The freedom to distribute copies of your modified versions to others (freedom 3). By doing this you can give the whole community a chance to benefit from your changes. Access to the source code is a precondition for this.

Just because you decide you need to make money on a product has no bearing on its FOSS status, unless you revoke the re-distribution or distribution clauses. If that is what you mean by "commercial" then say so. However, I can't imagine an "extra feature" that is more valuable than my ability to share the product.
