This seems like good news to me. I like Caddy and use it all the time (for personal, non-commercial projects) but adding sponsors to a header was too much to stomach for a whole bunch of reasons, and I actually started moving my sites back to Nginx.
I have no objection to Caddy monetizing, and I hope they are successful, but don't penalize small users to get there.
In my day job, I work for a large company and we pay for OSS software all the time (RHEL, Nginx Plus, lots more), and if Caddy starts to get popular, I know we'll have no issue paying $10,000 a year or more.
Go after large enterprise, and keep it free for hobbyists. Small/Medium businesses are painful to deal with, and you might as well let them use this for free.
