This is the model used by many companies backing OSS. The fact that you have been burned before means the actor in that case (or cases) acted badly, not that the model is wrong.

Software isn't free to produce, and the need to make money off software isn't something companies should be ashamed of. In fact, nowadays I'm leaning towards trusting OSS with clear financial sustainability over software whose long term existence seems shaky.
