Possibly multiple licenses: the license is determined by how somebody 
has got the code from you irrespective of whether he could have got it 
elsewhere. Alternatively, the basic framework is GPL but 
dynamically-linked extensions are proprietary.

I suppose that the bigger question is: how does one find an affordable 
lawyer, well-versed in the laws covering the major jurisdictions?
