This was so awful I unfollowed the author's RSS feed after following it for his experimental project years ago. Which was closed source and appears to have never released anything.
I know plenty of closed-source tools that provide their authors significant income while benefiting from a healthy relationship with open source. Pico-8, which has a strong community of people who share game code, and Prodigy, which closely integrates with the open-source spaCy, both come to mind.
The spaCy developers' piece on running an open source business from 2017 is a much better approach to the topic.
