I did look a bit into dual licensing for companies (AGPLv3 for normal use + commercial license for companies) but it is a more fragile setup since we would need to figure out how other open source contributions fit into this.

For this reason I prefer us to just be GPLv3 for now.

I am in favor of us using GPLv3 as our license. I feel like it fits well with our goals. We want Echelon to be open source and allow people to use this as a base to make something better, but it should remain open source.
