Ideally most will see the advantage of dual licensing. What's going to happen 
is there's going to be lots and lots of people building 99% of their app using 
the GPL version and only buying commercial when they are ready to release. If 
people have been using the plugin then they will need a license for that too... 
unless the plugin is just a helper. Helpers are a little more complicated 
because unless some code is included in the distributed app then dual licensing 
won't help the developer. It could still be released under a standard 
commercial license that inhibits distribution but it would need to be 
unprotected.
