You are confusing 'commercial' with 'closed source'. No one says open 
source software cannot be sold commercially. You just have to offer and 
release your code to your customers should they want it.

I don't see how charging a carpenter for a hammer is a handicap. To make 
his/her own hammer would cost more than it would to buy one from the 
local hardware store. You cannot hammer a nail very well without a 
hammer. A rock might work.
