The commercial project code base is supported for 5 years and bugs are 
patched without forcing you to include new features or apis. It's tested 
against a wider range of projects and application servers and releases 
are generally based on a given corporate schedule.

The project is released when it's ready and bug fixes are not 
backported, so you always need to be running bleeding edge to get latest 
bug fixes. So while you get the bug fixes, you also get all the new 
features which haven't had much testing yet and can introduce some level 
of instability. This puts a lot more onus, and thus cost, onto the end 
user to test more thoroughly in their environments.
