I have a better one for you. Don’t start an open source project if you intend to make people pay for it. Go ahead and sell your support but don’t pull a bait and switch on people who develop their business models around the open source community. Plus, it makes the rest of the open source community look bad when someone pulls shit like this.

Your bad decision to base your business on something of value that is being given for free is no one else’s problem than your own.
