Being FOSS or licensed doesn't dictate the number of developers so isn't a rebuttal against licensing.

Nor are you unable to get a license which allows you source access or rights should they disappear. Most really don't mind clauses about things after their disappearance.

The only thing you seem to be against in your rebuttal is that a license fee be paid. Otherwise you're just wishing for active and vibrant development so far, regardless of licensing.
