This is just words, but anyway: dual-licensing involves a closed source 
license as much as an open one; in business terms, even more, because 
that's where the money is. So dual-licensing is really less an "open 
source model" than a "closed" one. I'd really like to be shown any 
essential flaw in this reasoning. But as I said, it's just words, 
academic, not important, not pressing, don't waiste your time. Thanks.
