SolveSpace (https://solvespace.com/ https://solvespace.com/), 2D/3D CAD app, actually also is dual licensed (GPL+CLA Sign).[0]
Initially SolveSpace v1.x was commercial proprietary[1] (including v1.8), since v1.9 it was unrestricted freeware proprietary[2] and later v2.0 released as FLOSS GPL-only licensed[3].
Few years ago CLA Sign was added by a former maintainer[4] (who bought rights for commercial/proprietary usage of SolveSpace project code from Jonathan Westhues[5]) and now it is riqured to sign CLA for contributing to project source repo on GitHub which is fully covered by GPL license[6] — this is a sorta of something wired looking for me, but idea of dual licensing (such as used for SolveSpace, VCVRack, Ardour, etc.) actually is maybe the best compromise between FLOSS & commercial proprietary software worlds.
