You are not entitled to make money off it, just like you aren't entitled to make money off that open source project you forked.
You are absolutely entitled to make money off of an open source project you fork. As long as your fork provides value you that someone is willing to pay for.
That depends on the license of the open source project, and the way in which you choose to make money with it.
Any license that says you can't try to make money off of it isn't open source. Literally by definition.
If you don't understand this, then you don't understand the open source movement. See https://opensource.org/osd-annotated for a basic primer.
Any license that does not permit you to make money with the software is not an open source license so that is wrong.
