In these examples, you pay for support.

Another business model can be found by looking historically; rms programmed custom stuff for emacs for $250 an hour.
Although those were not the type of software I had in mind(I had the idea of more like a pay and get software), but I think I get the idea.
I also looked around a bit, and apparently Cedega does that. You can buy it for its price, but you can get its code freely from its CVS.(but without the copyright breaking code)
