Frankly, there are two mutually exclusive camps: free software and open source. I myself sympathize with free software (GPL) whereas RushPL with open source (MIT). Selling proprietary versions has never been the reason for CLA, though! We want to be able to re-release VirtKick under MIT (and automatically get rid of CLA) if we get funded, so businesses have no problems with it. (See https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=8527999)

So selling proprietary versions isn't your goal, but allowing the code to be used in proprietary versions is?

You're walking a very fine line here. One so thin I wouldn't fault anyone who said it doesn't even exist.
