| Why not dual-license? GPL + anything else you please. That way, if
people

This is contrary to the goal of sharing code. It's one thing to
allow forking. This strategy encourages forking in a way that makes
it difficult for the forked versions to share code. That's highly
undesireable if your goal is to create for best possible software.
