I think it would be wisest to avoid assumptions altogether.
There are already features in both the open source and proprietary
editions that weren't among the Kickstarter goals, so the assumption you
suggest would be incorrect out of the starting gate.
And on the other hand, there are now add-ons in the proprietary edition
which are not in the open source edition, so assuming the other
direction would be equally incorrect.
Rather than attempt to decide all the future possibilities in broad
strokes, it seems best to evaluate each moment as it unfolds.
There are reasons to believe the company is in earnest about its open
source endeavors, and reasons to believe that certain add-ons may be
beneficial for both editions if the company is able to derive value from
them through proprietary per-user licensing.
Personally I have my doubts about the realizable value of such things
being sufficiently compelling over the long haul in the particular way
they're currently pursued, so I don't expect this to be a major trend.
