This deceptive hybrid model (based I my understanding of it per 
the description above) is really offensive to those of us who 
understand the concept of open-source, and the benefits that flow 
from it.

You (not you personally - I mean the person implementing such a 
hybrid model) lure people in with free open source, then, when 
something is found to be wrong with it, you make them wait for 
the fix.. until.. .. .. your ransom has been paid.

Utterly offensive (the model that is).

Open source means just that ...  Open source - It's turtles all 
the way down.

Ransom-ware is something very different.
