Just to be clear as can be. I'm advocating the possibility that we consider
multiple releases with various licenses beyond the first, and that FIRST and
PRIME license would be the GPL (+- Exception). The extra license releases
would be some flavor with a strong "open-source" component --- but they may
not be some flavor of the specific GPL. I think that there are two official
versions of the GPL, the GNU GPL and the Library GPL (LGPL). But, there are
seemingly many open-source software licenses.
Yes, as you said before, and I love that quote, FWIW, we are NOT talking
about various license flavors that cause a radical change in dietary habits.
Bingo!
