This isn't so hard.  Those who pay to license the code would get it
under a license that is not GPL.  Also, while we could host the SVN
repository for the community GPL "fork" of the 1.x design, we would
keep it separate from the 1.x design that we license for money (so we
don't violate the GPL ourselves).  At that point, our support for the
1.x design would be limited to bug fixes and performance enhancements
and perhaps some changes that various authors give us permission to
adopt, and community members would be responsible for "merging" our
design with theirs.

[I'm making an assumption, possibly not true, that all 1.x designs
will be merely minor enhancements and performance boosts of the
original 1.0 designs.  Major architectural changes wouldn't occur
until 2.0.]
