No! ROS is open source ( http://www.ros.org/is-ros-for-me/ ) and if you want to release something as open source as well, you are free to do so. Check out the bloom documentation which is the release toolchain used in ROS.
Perhaps 'open-source' could use some clarification: wikipedia/zh/open-source.
And "open source" -> "commercially usable" is not a valid conclusion!!
@NEngelhard: could you clarify that statement a bit? Are you referring to licensing or code quality (or both)?
I was referring to the license. Just being open source is not enough for being commercially usable.
@NEngelhard@gvdhoorn good points. But I understood the questions as: "do I have to pay to release a package".
This is a clean "No, you don't have to." Whether the release package is suitable for anything is another matter ;-)
