> LiteSpeed Enterprise Edition provides some features above and beyond OpenLiteSpeed... I can't get around the fact that any bug fixes, improvements, or edits to the GPL code will not be portable into the non-GPL branch. I'd imagine that's a huge issue that stops most businesses from doing the 2 edition thing - community/open-source and pro edition. Does anyone know of a license that allows this?

if contributions require copyright assignment they are free to relicense the code.

  That is true, but a would-be contributor might fork the GPL-ed part instead of assigning copyrights, for example because he doesn't want to assign copyright to a commercial entity or because his country does not allow him to give away all his rights. It only takes one such a would-be contributor who contributes a highly useful feature for that fork to become the canonical version of the software (any features appearing in the original GPL-ed version later on can be ported into it, if desired; the reverse is not true)
