Actually, GPL/commercial dual licensing is a very raw deal for the
company that's attempting to sell the commercial licenses. They've
set themselves up to compete with a version of their own code that
has no commercial value... because end users can get it free of
charge. It's not exactly a good idea to destroy the commercial value
of your product and then try to sell it.
