Which DUAL Licence should I choose.

Non-proprietary is known as public domain.

As long as OSI-listed documents do NOT disclaim 
copyright ownership, they are all proprietary 
licenses. The OSI-blessed choice of consideration 
in exchange to license grant does not make the 
licensees less proprietary.

I wish you luck in your business endeavours, but wish to again point out
that OSI is concerned with open source, rather than proprietary
software.  Your business appears to continue to publish proprietary
offerings, of one of the many 'viewable source' varieties.  You may
recall that I predicted that you would end up doing that. 

(Within open source, OSI also has attempted to reduce licence
proliferation, largely by making people more aware of the long-term
dead-end nature of gratuitous one-offs created for predominant 
uncompelling reasons.)

I am speaking myself (not OSI or anyone else) in saying the above.
On the other hand, it's also the plain truth.  ;->
