But maybe Agner might consider using the Mozilla Public License 2.0?
It differs from the GPL and LGPL in that

So changes to Agner's library would remain free software, but people
can use it to build proprietary application which they supply in other
files.
This is the best proposal so far. But it still nags me that this gives
proprietary software vendors a free lunch when they are actually quite
willing to pay, while the open source movement has so many financing
problems. Here are some low-hanging fruits that we are not picking
because we cannot agree how to organize it.

What you might
want to consider is setting up a CLA that gives you the right to sell
exceptions as long as all the money from those sales goes to some
defined Free Software organization. That way, you don't need to set up
your own organization, contributors have a guarantee that you won't do
random other stuff with their contributions and if you do, you lose
their contributions
This would in reality be a one man organization doing all the
administration work, and everybody would have to trust me. And what
would happen if I die or become unable to continue? It would also get me
into tax problems.
