It still is open source. The ability to download source code for free of software that usually or money it a great thing, especially for people who never pay for software. However this modal is what open source is suppose to be about, instead of just getting the binaries you also get the source code. It was never about software being free (costless).
Companies that offer free and paid versions of software are great. As a software developer i'm willing to pay for powerful and advance SDK's, however I love that I can download free versinas of software that I need but use infrequently (stuff like graphic design apps)
