Good point -- a lot of projects such as Qt and MySQL sell commercial versions
alongside their open-source version.

They are the same version, just different licensing.

One idea would be to go the Qt route and GPL the code. If anyone wants to use
your code for a non-GPL project then they have to pay a license fee.
