A question about dual licensing

 

I have decided to release my software with two licenses. At the same time I want this to be open-source. So how would I dual license? Which licenses do I pick?

I want one license to be very similar to GPL as long as the user uses it for non-commercial projects. The other license would be a commercial license (the user has to pay) so that the user can use it in commercial projects (doesn't matter whether it is proprietary or not for the commercial license).

Sencha provides a good example of the dual licensing model in practice. It sounds like your goals are similar theirs. They have options of GPL and a proprietary Commercial License. It seems like a pretty good setup really. If folks want to use your product as a competitive advantage in their business they have to pay for it.
