| Why not dual-license? GPL + anything else you please. That way, if  
people
| want to do GPL work, they accept your GPL license. Someone who wants to 
| do commercial work accepts your APSL 1.1 clone.

  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.
