I think your attitude is noble. I would encourage you to donate an
affordable yearly amount for the community version. That way you have
supported the company according to your conscience and the company receives
funds to increase their productivity.
In fact, I would hope anyone who takes advantage of the OSS edition would
give at least a little something, whether that is money or software
contributions. That is how it is supposed to work.

Yes, you got it exactly right. I think the community version is fine, but I
like the company and the idea behind the product. That is why I have been
paying for this for all this time. I can afford 999$/yr, so the company
will lose a sale. Not just one sale, but a yearly sale. Don't forget I kept
up to date since 2007. It'll be strange to not pay and use the community
version, since that really is not how I want to use the product. I actually
prefer supporting the company.
Maybe I'm just strange. :)

I understand what he means. The OSS version would work fine, but that's
not the point. His point is that he thinks LC is losing money from those
who would like to contribute by purchasing a license at a reduced rate
(possibly restricted to personal use only, or something similar I'm
guessing.)
It isn't that there is no path forward, but rather that he thinks the
current licensing model is costing the company some sales. I don't know if
that's true or not, I'm just playing interpreter.
