You may want to take careful note of the issue ~laGrenouille raises about others' contributions, though.
Say a patch/pull-request is freely offered to your AGPL project. I believe it's well-understood that such a submission includes implicit permission for distribution under that same open-source license.
But you will also be licensing that same contributed code under another custom commercial license. Contributors should understand that – you've made it clear in surrounding docs – but whether you can legally assume their re-licensing permission, without an explicit copyright-assignment, is a bit murkier of an issue.

I'm planning to base it off Oracle's: http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/community/oca-486395.html http://www.oracle.com/technetwork/community/oca-486395.html
