How can you legally have a “dual-licensed system” that uses GPL 3 code, when the GNU General Public License Version 3 states specifically that it does not permit incorporating GPL programs into proprietary programs?
Is not “Commercial”, which is approximately 95% “Community”, also subject to the terms of the GPL 3, and therefore open source?
