  I don't see any problem in that kind of business model.

  Many companies use even a more radical business model: Their software is
free for individuals for non-commercial use, while for companies using it
commercially it costs a considerable amount of money.

  This business idea is actually clever: The software is usually so
expensive and so specific that individuals are not going to buy it anyways,
and if anything, they are going to pirate it. So rather than that, let them
just have it for free. This way they will get accustomed to the software,
and if they ever get a related job, or create their own related firm, then
there's a high probability for the firm to buy the software because the
employees have experience using it.
