The big difference between 4Front and us, is that we have no vested commercial interest in the project anymore. Hence a dual licensing option under GPL/BSD type licenses is not something we need to do. We actually have always done that with our SDK code over the years, in that it was dual licensed under LGPL and commercial licenses for our commercial licensees. But since we are no longer selling this code commercially anymore, I really just want to see the entire blob under a BSD/MIT style license, so both Open Source and commercial companies alike can utilize all our work.
I personally put more than 15 years of my life into this code, but now I am onto different things, and I just don't want to see it sit there and go to waste. So dual licensing is simply not necessary.
