I am always looking for example of successful commercial FOSS projects that doesn't compromise the spirit and intent of Free Software.

I am curious as to what you're selling, and why wouldn't anybody just download a free copies from somewhere else?

They certainly can do that (as well as build it themselves). Linux distros all offer builds, for example.

I've tried to build a community where supporting the continuous full time development of the software is seen as a social good, and thus worth participating in even if the software itself is available at no charge. Most of our income comes from "subscriptions" which have nothing to do with the licensing-style arrangements seen today, but are merely a recurring payment agreement that gives us a consistent income, allowing us to avoid endless "got to make a new release" mania.
