You don't need a new kind of license for this. You can dual-license a project as (A)GPL & commercial. Business-wise it's like a freemium model. The GPL option is friendly to FLOSS projects while avoiding being free-as-in-free-labor. Companies happily pay for a commercial license, because that's easier and safer for them than to think how GPL could work for them.
