no way, don't even think/worry about that.

commercial needs are what fund a significant amount of "open
development"; your business problem is what really drives this
endeavor, and makes it worthwhile to sink (limited) time resources
toward.  everyone else is freely gaining.  nothing to be ashamed of in
even the slightest bit imo; most of us (guessing :-) who do open
development are likely employed and fed by doing other, "less open",
development.

if everything was 100% free software/labor there wouldn't be much
porridge for all the developer bears out there, and this bear would be
in a more lucrative line of work.  starving developers don't generate
much software to play with :-)
