The intent is clearly to promote sales of commercial licenses. Similar to why Oracle relicensed Berkeley DB from BSD to AGPL: “As of July 2011, Oracle's list price for non-copyleft Berkeley DB licenses varies between 900 and 13,800 USD per processor.” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Berkeley_DB#Licensing
