See if you can put it under the [a]GPL and create a consulting niche around it.

That is interesting. May I ask what do you mean by "if you can"? Thx
If you have the rights/if your customers will tolerate it.

EDIT: to clarify as I realize that was pretty vague.

1) Depending on how you use your dependencies you may have a licensing conflict that makes the GPL incompatible.

2) I think your shareholders/VCs/whoever holds the equity (or if you're bankrupt the senior bondholders) probably own the copyright for the code so you would need their permission.
