I'm not changing the license for whatever ''business opportunity". The open source allows you to earn more actually on long time. Payed plugins (not payed support, knowledge isn't free) is a shame for this software. If I had bulletin board system under my control, I would refuse any author with payed plugins. Plus I would start shunting down all boards that require payed subscription. When I declare one license, I keep working under that license. Also any plugin that extends board much more would be payed after requested permission but kept on the official board forum where the author could provide support. Punto. Let's see how people could make money from providing support.

For your information, I could still sell paid plugins and you could do nothing as long as my plugins were open source. So yeah, open source doesn't mean "free".
