Dual licensing

[Rod Dixon, J.D., LL.M.]

I agree with the point that the creative spark is not communitarian.  My 
point  -- if we are to use Eric Raymond's book as an example (see Raymond's 
busness model "8 Free the Software, Sell the Brand") -- is that dual 
licensing IS an authentic open source model.
