It's not about modification, it's about control.

Things out of my administrative control are uncomfortable to use.

The only thing I expect from you at this point is that you continue to hold your code close to the vest, with the final goal of generating revenue from it. And there's nothing wrong with that - I'd rather pay for the whole package than participate in your current 'free' model.

Edit:
I had 'free with restrictions' - but that's not quite right. It's more like a holier-than-thou attitude of "you can have this part of the code, but this part you cannot have because it's far too dangerous to be entrusted to just anyone". That's what really bugs me - the condescension implied in stating you cannot release part of the code because the world is not worthy enough to possess it.

Who the heck are you to judge that people aren't capable of using the code responsibly?
