That couldn't be farther from the truth. In fact there're many popular
examples
of software where people charge for OSS or rather the packaging for
it.

There is software licensed under terms which prohibit commercial
redistribution
and others where the license requires making the source code and the
modifications to make it compile into the commercial package public.

QS is supposedly under the Apache license and here's what Wikipedia
knows
about this license:
"The Apache License requires preservation of the copyright notice and
disclaimer, but it is not a copyleft license — it allows use of the
source code for the development of proprietary software as well as
free and open source software."

So go ahead...
