This is the correct approach - double license, if you're non-commercial then you'll get GPL/AGPL/etc. and if you're a company and want to use it to make money this way or another then pay up. A fair approach that provides a way of supporting the people making it and further development.

  You do realize, I hope, that if you give even one person A GPL/AGPL version of your software, they can then redistribute it to anyone for any purpose. There's no such thing as "GPL for non-commercial use".
