Thanks for the clarification. I have no problem paying money to support open source development, or to pay for support or sponsor open source features I need, etc. I don't use non-open source code for anything critical in my business, and avoid it whenever possible even outside of critical functions. That includes proprietary extensions to open source cores.

I don't mean to sound entitled, I always want to express gratitude to developers for contributing to open source. But I will say that I would never pay for proprietary features- not because I don't want to pay, but because I want open source features, and I am willing to pay for open source features.

True, I definitely don't use non open source stuff for my business either, on the code side, but I definitely do use user land applications that aren't open source, for example Google sheets or QuickBooks for accounting, because user land applications are not necessarily something that there are good alternatives for that are open source; I'd never use OpenOffice over Google sheets.
