Over the years I've come to agree with this POV, and distilled it down to this:
If your goal is profit, don't open source your core product.
We've seen this time and time again where a company releases their core software under a permissive license, and then bigger competitors come along and resell a solution redistributing their software.
If the company's central goal is profit, this is an existential threat. However if your company goal is to ensure the software exists (as a non-profit steward), this is a resounding success!
This doesn't apply to software that's secondary to your core product, e.g. a useful tool you've developed but don't make money directly selling to others.
