If you wanted to improve the wording of your licensing, I'd do the following:
In the licensing section for your README.md:
BrowserBoxPro is licensed separately under the following licenses:
- GNU General Public License v3 (or later) (linked to LICENSES/GPL-3.0.txt)
- Polyform Non-Commercial License 1.0 (link to LICENSES/PolyForm-Noncommercial-1.0.0.txt)
- BrowserBox Pro perpetual commercial license (link to LICENSES/LicenseRef-BBP-Commercial-Perpetual.txt).
- BrowserBox Pro subscription commercial license (link to LICENSES/LicenseRef-BBP-Commercial-Subscription.txt).
What does this mean for me?
Are you using BrowserBox Pro as it ships?
You may use BrowserBox Pro under the terms of the GPLv3 (or later).
Are you modifying BrowserBox Pro or developing software that uses BrowserBox Pro and willing to license those changes under the GPL?
You may use BrowserBox Pro under the terms of the GPLv3 (or later).
Are you using BrowserBox Pro, modifying BrowserBox Pro, or developing software that uses BrowserBox Pro in a non-commercial capacity but do not wish to comply with the license terms of the GPLv3?
You may use BrowserBox Pro under the terms of the Polyform Non-Commercial License 1.0.0.
Are you using BrowserBox Pro, modifying BrowserBox Pro, or developing software that uses BrowserBox Pro in a commercial capacity but do not wish to comply with the license terms of the GPLv3?
You may purchase a perpetual or subscription based commercial license (link to commercial licensing docs).
LICENSE.md:

I think that should clear up any confusion (I am not a lawyer but am decently familiar with licensing). You could also include a "or contact us for special licensing" section like you did for OEM licensing in the README.
