Oh absolutely, dual licensing would be the best way to go. (L)GPL is certainly
not the way to go to if OpenPGP.js should
be implemented in commercial applications, due to its way too restrictive
nature.
So either drop (L)GPL all together or provide dual licensing.
In my previous answer I just wanted to point out that Apple doesn't care as
much about licenses, unless you
start using it to bash them for having allowed an app into the app store which
doesn't comply with their store rules
and that they should change them.
