They're making money off of a free software project by selling a closed source plugin that makes it compatible with a different program. I don't see how it doesn't help. Anyway you slice it they're making money off a free software project, and in a pretty original way. It's no different than a company like codeweavers. People are making money off of cross platform compatibility. It's a new business model, and a pretty interesting one if you ask me.
