1. GPLv3 or later

2. polyform non-commercial for non-commercial non-GPLv3 (or later) works.

3. commercial license for commercial non-GPLv3 (or later) works.

In other words, Use GPLv3 however if you can't use GPLv3 but are non-commercial, use polyform non-commercial. Otherwise buy a commercial license.

You may want to reword as "licensed under either GPLv3 or Polyform Non-commercial 1.0 at your option" or some such, like most rust-lang projects do; ex: https://github.com/rust-lang/rustup

Then give guidance on why one might choose one license over the other.

Thank you! :) BTW - I like your RethinkDNS app -- very polished and popular! :)
