I agree, buy playing devil's advocate, it's true that people without the time and expertise to setup their own install can find this packaging valuable enough to pay for it.

It would be better for all if, in Open Source fashion, this software had a FLOSS easy-to-install packaging that provided for basic use cases, and developers made money by adapting it to more specific use cases and toolchains.

(This one is not FLOSS in the classic sense, of course. The above would be valid for MIT-licensed or GPL models).
