What do you think of this licence : http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-sa/2.0/fr/deed.en_GB
Here is what I've understood, please correct me if I'm misunderstanding something:
I think it can be very useful because the author keeps the patternity of his work, you can use it for commercial project, and you have to share your code when you've modified it (so OS contribution!)
And in the case that you don't want to make you modification open-source, you can ask the author to make a special licence (with a possible payment for that).

Quite a lot (I see someone else gave some examples). Many companies
release as GPL but then offer a commercial license so people can pay to
escape its restrictions.
Don't forget the code owner can also make money from their open source
library from being *the* expert on it. When VeryBigCorp needs a
customized version of your library they'll come to you first and ask you
to name your price. (wishful thinking? :-)
Then there are books, conferences, and of course the way it helps your
CV. (Those only apply if the project becomes big and successful, but if
it doesn't you wouldn't have made any money from it anyway.)
