FOSS is indeed a moral and ethical stand on freedom, than on business realites (that's more why "open source" came about).

You can't have the FOSS cake and eat it too.

For eg: Sentry can release sentry-open under a fully free license from moral considerations, but choose not to do so because of business considerations. That's an OK choice to make, but you hence don't get to call yourself.
