The funny thing is, open source projects scramble to offer the most permissive license possible. It's either BSD/MIT or go home. I've seen people shit on projects that use copyleft (GPL, even LGPL, etc).
Sounds a little schizophrenic to complain about the (lack of) money at the same time?
I personally think this may be connected to the "academic" origins and mindset of much OSS. Everything's "free" in that world, which can make a software's transition into the world with real economic constraints and sustainability challenges somewhat painful.
