Dual Licensing
Noun · Open Source
Definitions
A licensing model in which the same software is offered under two different licenses, often one open source and one commercial, so users can choose based on their use case. It is a common strategy for balancing community adoption with monetization.
In plain English: Offering the same software under two different licenses for different kinds of users.
Example: "The company used dual licensing so open source users could experiment freely while OEMs paid for commercial terms."
