> making profit through consultancy

This incentivizes making software that requires consultancy (or at best, disincentivizes fixing issues with the software that would lessen the income from consultancy).

Your profit should come from the software being the best it can be (not to be confused with having the most bloated feature checklist) by itself, not by anything surrounding it.

And how do you suggest we pay devs to make the best free software they can make?
