What about dual licensing? Pure GPL or commercial license?

Seems like fair trade

"Commercial" is not the antonym of free software/open source. "Proprietary" is.

You can (and many companies do) make money with (i.e. commercialize) open source software.

It is a fair trade. Qt works this way and is very successful in both the commercial and open source worlds.
