First of all as some has pointed out, this project was never intended to be open-sourced by Mr Lutz or Red Gate.
Second, as a programmer and a contractor, I would expect my work to be paid.. in real money, not a pat in the back or a thank you card. Mr Lutz sold the IP to Red Gate, Red Gate is a business, and business runs on money which otherwise it would be called charity organization.
Releasing the product as open source is akin to giving away an investment, it does not make any business sense at all.
I reckon charging $35 is hardly a dent on most organization/individual wallets.
Having said that, IMHO, having a free "lite" version could be a good gesture from Red Gate, whether a feature stricken and/or ad-supported model. / comments
