This makes me wonder, why not offer paid support? Why not charge a yearly fee for regular support, and an hourly or bounty fee for programming support (that is if the programming support also goes in line with the direction of the software, WYSIWYG for example)?
We don't have the resources for it right now, but it's an option for the future which gets occasionally kicked around.
It may or may not require some corporate restructuring; can the non-profit operate such stuff? cf Mozilla etc.
