> However, software for a fee is not FOSS.

Now this is moving into differences between Free and open source software.

You can have open source software which has some form of support and specialized feature development for a fee. Many many many do this through companies today. They do it as a company rather than an individual due to the way you need to work to get paid by public companies.

One issue I keep seeing is setups that don't work for the constraints public companies have on them. People want their money but aren't willing to work within their constraints.

Yes, I agree. There are two different audiences: public software developers and public companies. And they both need different interfaces. I love it.
