Here are a few ideas off the top of my head for a purely open source (non-commercial) project:

* custom features

* prioritization

* training

* enterprise support

* sponsorships

* invites to free conferences and swag

* t-shirts and swag sales

* commercial software integrations/partnerships

* brand sponsorship/inclusion on docs/websites/etc.

* professionally managed and scalable hosting

What did I miss?



err ICO?
