It's been discussed before, but I couldn't point you to a thread. It's okay to license something under the GPL for everybody, and add _extra_ permissions for others. It's not very different from the old "In addition, you may link this software against Qt (or XForms) and distribute the resulting binary, under the restrictions in clause 3 of the GPL, even though the resulting binary is not, as a whole, covered by the GPL." The above gave extra permissions to Qt or XForms users. I don't see a slipery slope here. What am I missing? Can you provide an example of what you are thinking of?
