This is a short cited viewpoint. You are only looking at the negatives of the
decision. Each decision you make in life only has its positives. I could say
that when I moved to San Francisco I lost out on all the fun snow on the East
Coast. That would be neglecting all the cool things about San Francisco (and
there are tons).
If you subscribe to the BSD philosophy that in order to have a strong software
development model you need to be loose with your licensing so more people can
easily embrace your code. Dual licensing allows the GPL camp to accept our code
into their fold and treat it like a first class citizen. No more wars. They
get to keep their GPL philosophy, we get to keep our BSD philosophy. Just flip
the coin and it is a win-win situation :).

My first job was programming binary load lifters, very similar to your
Evaporators in many respects.
