Qubes OS itself is a nice idea. I worry about the commercialization aspect, though.

Will the Qubes Team be sharing a portion of their commercial profit with members of the Open Source Community who have previously contributed to Qubes OS?

They do not have any obligation to share profit.

There is such a thing as more than one kind of obligation. Are they LEGALLY obligated to share? Likely no. Are they MORALLY obligated? That's definitely up for debate.

EDIT: The parent does not deserve down votes because you disagree with their opinion. Grow up.

Thanks, there seems to be a lot of downvoting on HN based on disagreement rather than substance :(
