Looks like I should've waited with my previous mail until I read this one.

I would suggest to add the example you gave about some customers wanting 
proprietary modules for internal integration with their network etc - noting 
that we want them to use ownCloud and otherwise they wouldn't be able to. Just 
to give the argument some more 'life' and make clear that it's not just about 
the money for ownCloud Inc - but also about being able to go places we 
otherwise wouldn't be able to service...
