Sentry is also open source, but for very different reasons than what you describe. I treat it like part of the business value, but that also means that many people can simply run their own, which means potential value lost (I wouldnt argue that there is value lost, but its not something that can be ignored).

Then there's no issue in the hypothetical scenario I laid out.

I'm a Sentry user (of the hosted service) because it's open sourced. I wouldn't have given you a seconds notice otherwise and I doubt I'm alone in that.

Why be so defensive when you're clearly not in a position to be guilty of leaving all your customers up the creek?
