I understand the need to be profitable. It's a legitimate objective. But the power of FOSS is its openness, not merely for sources, but for development also. It has nothing to do with philantropy, it's about fostering a development ecosystem, to make a long-living and sustainable product. You get more developers, more bug solvers, more support givers and finally more satisfaction on the client side. Tiny has nothing to fear, their knowledge is already unvaluable! There are many business models around, some more successful than others. But until now, the way to go seems to be: open largely the product and make profit with services (bug solving, support, consulting, training, ...).
