On the article above, you mentioned WordPress plugin. I find it very interesting.
WordPress plugin like Advanced Custom Fields, WooCommerce, Gravity Forms, they are (except Gravity Forms):
1. Releasing their 'open source' products free of charge.
2. Selling their premium 'open source' products for a price (which is a good thing, I am not against money making).Now, let we see:
1. Do they develop their premium 'open source' products in public repository where people can read the code and contributing?They don't. This defeat the purpose of open source software development methodology.
2. Do they welcome to the idea that other people can read, study, modify and redistribute their premium 'open source' plugin?
No, they are strongly against this, especially the redistribution.
----------------------
Even thought their plugins are under GPL license and they call themselves as open source developers, but, open core is what they have been practically doing.
This is one of the things which gave me the idea that open core is the open source next direction.

Free software movement focuses on freedom, but not friendly to the commercial world.
Open source movement emerged from free software movement. It replaced freedom with software development methodology. It is absolutely friendly to the commercial world.
Open core is the natural next direction of open source. It is friendly to the commercial world, but it is also friendly to the pocket of the developers.
Next, returning to 100% proprietary software as a way of life.

Edit: I am not against proprietary software. I am using Excel daily.
