I am not really sure what your issue is. What you think open-source as freemium isn’t a model?

If it wasn’t for copy-left licenses that forced companies to release code that they used to create their products we wouldn’t have Linux in its current state.

In a world, where many products are cloud based it seems fair and within the current model of open source to force code sharing.
