One of our speakers last night made an eloquent plea along the lines of "Can't we all just get along?" on the subject of OSS licensing because these legal constructs are forcing some projects to replicate work accomplished years ago.

Hello Gwyn et al,
I'm one of the SVLUG volunteers.
As background, I work in development of proprietary software that runs on Linux. I am interested in knowing more about dual licensing scenarios where a firm will offer both open source and "Commercial open source" applications.  For example Sugar CRM apparently has one offering that is "open source" and another that is commercial. Perhaps we can explore that topic a bit when you come for the evening of discussion.
I'm looking forward to the meeting.
