Digium is free to do that but the word used was "dislike". That's not a 
harsh word. Example usage:

"It's a lot easier to tell consulting customers to buy the commercial 
version when it includes the source. It's much harder to tell them to 
buy something I dislike."

I hope Digium has thought this out well and chosen the most profitable 
approach. After all, some of that revenue will be used to fund hardware 
and software development.

I'm also sure that some buyers of this product will have bigger projects 
in the future. Some of us will make more money as a result.
