I think there's a misunderstanding here; yours is indeed a legitimate 
question, and we're really not trying to demonize or attack you in any way.

Since your original idea of hiding the source code turns out to be 
largely infeasible (as explained in our original posts), we're offering 
alternative perspectives that might enable you to go through with your 
plan to create a TiddlyWiki-based application.

So we're not being fanatical, trying to force you to open-source your 
work - it merely seems that it's impossible to entirely hide the code in 
the environment TiddlyWiki works in.
In fact, TiddlyWiki's using the BSD license precisely because it allows 
a large degree of freedom and flexibility in terms of modifying and 
redistributing the code* - that includes reuse for commercial purposes.

Nevertheless, I apologize if that came across as offensive.

I'm afraid that's not what open source means.
