Open core is a business model where an open source product is also made available commercially with additional features.

This requires the entity releasing the commercial version to have legal rights to do so, either from the use of an open source license allowing it, such as BSD, or the assignment of copyright from contributors to that entity when using licenses such as the GPL.
