It's clearly a license fee. I don't see how a license fee stands in conflict with FOSS though. FOSS is Free as in freedom, not free as in gratis.
The godfather of all FLOSS licenses himself (GPL) contains explicit terms to allow license fees too.
The freedom in Foss is freedom to redistribute (under the same license).
Is the the distributor or the og developer getting the licensing fees? Neither makes any sense to me.
That's the hard part: Who has claims to how much of the license fees. That's an extremely tough question to answer because it necessitates quantification of code contributions which is far from a solved problem.
