It will be a commercial distributed dual-licensed work. So, I hope that 
this will be special :)

GPL, 2, c:

| including an appropriate copyright notice (...)

I really think that this will cause misinterpretation. However, if 
someone says that a requirement of a copyright notice will fit even in 
web applicatiosn, I will register a trademark an use the GPL ;)
