I want to release my code as free software, but am willing to allow people to pay for the right to include it in their proprietary programs. Should I say so in the license?
We believe it is better (ie simpler and less confusing for everyone) to mention that in a separate note, rather than in the license. This allows you to use a standard free software license. It also tends to make the offer easier to see, since it would be buried if placed in a long document full of legalese.
