there is plenty open source software, that you can buy. There are many modes:

• you buy the support (redhead)
• you buy the long-term-support (ubuntu)
• you pay for backports to old releases (keycloak iirc)
• there is a open source version, and you can pay for enterprise features and hosting (gitlab)
• there is an open source version, and you pay for customization (star office, iirc)

and my personal favorit:

• you pay a random developer to submit pullrequests for bugs that are relevant to you
