I doubt it will open up that market. Not that I don't hope that it does.

Yes, but for every good user who contributes, how many more do we get
that are worse than leeches? I am both happy and sad about this new
release. Happy that Digium and support around are more likely to make
the money they deserve, and sad by what this may mean to my inbox.
Luckily Digium and support are of slightly higher preference to my
inbox.
