Anecdotally I don’t believe dual licensing is viable for smaller projects. There simply aren’t enough companies that care about your license to make it a reliable business model.

This is something I explored initially for Oban[0] and I interviewed a few successful OSS product owners. They attributed zero sales to licensing. All sales were driven by features that a business needed once they had already invested in the core project.
