I'm far from an expert on this, so other commenters please correct me if I'm wrong:

GPL requires that any project that uses a GPL project as a part of it must also be free and open source.

It looks like Parity requires that you pay a licensing fee to the original creator of the Parity licensed project if you're using it for non-open-source reasons. So, it can be used for private/for-profit projects, but you have to pay for it in that case, whereas open source projects can use the code for free.

How is that different from just licensing as GPL, and offering to purchase a dual license for private projects?

Where do you see the part in the license that discusses a licensing fee?
