Exactly my thoughts just one question What is the middle path ? or if that is too big which i think it is Name some companies which follow it.
i think the middle path would be to target commercial enterprises as your revenue source, while keeping individuals/developers in the 'free-zone' Then again, you're fostering possible competition - who knows which of those developers may start his own firm based on ur product..!!
there are already some companies/developers who allow free individual use of their software, while restricting companies from doing so. one interesting example is jason hunter - if you want to use any of his java code personally - you can, but if a company wants to use it, they'd have to buy a copy of his book for every developer on the project team!
