  • Dual Licensing Schemes

    • Some projects try to fund themselves by using a dual licensing scheme, in which proprietary derivative works may pay the copyright holder for the right to use the code, but the code still remains free for use by open source projects.
    • The attractiveness of dual licensing is that, at its best, it provides a way for a free software project to get a reliable income stream.
    • The awkwardness is exacerbated by the fact that in dual licensing, the copyright owner really needs to gather formal, signed copyright assignments from all contributors, in order to protect itself from a disgruntled contributor later claiming a percentage of royalties from the proprietary stream.
    • Nevertheless, dual licensing is an instance of the copyright holder assigning itself a special right that others in the project do not have, and is thus bound to raise tensions at some point, at least with some volunteers.
    • What seems to happen in practice is that companies based on dual licensed software do not have truly egalitarian development communities.
