I don’t know what could be the reason for a non-profit to not open-source the code of a publicly available tool/product, except to hide or keep their property
Is that not a good reason, if you are trying to help people, and competitors likely would damage that mission? There’s a thousand possible reasons, and I really wonder why you can’t imagine any of them…
Because if you care about user you should be at least transparent to them, in your example you could make your codebase open-source with a license restricting it for commercial uses
