Yes.
For instance fellow dutchmen TomTom used a bunch of OS modules that  
are (L)GPL'ed, so they had to open up:
http://www.opentom.org/Main_Page

No.

Thomas & I agree that the dual licensing scheme is a pretty ideal  
compromise.

Look for instance at a project like CGAL.org, its commercially  
licensed as geometryfactory.com/
In fact, its a really smart idea; profits made by the commercial  
license are piped back to the developers of the licensed module.
A pretty ideal situation; this way academic researcher profit from  
their efforts, without the overhead of running a company / dealing  
with support.
So, there's something in it for everyone.
Fair deal, don't you think.

We haven't yet worked out the details for the dual licensing, but I do  
think this is an attractive model of channeling the collective  
pythonOCC.org intelligence.
