Speaking for myself. Customization and extension are based on manhours. Once the charge for the manhours are paid for, unless a specific agreement, I release code to open source. For components or Add-on, that i see can be sold to multiple customers, I divide the cost of the code and sell each module or add-on at a fraction of the cost, in jar files only. I also charge for my time, which can includes setup (getting it running on hardware), initialization(prepare data for client), training,and consulting.
