What makes you think it's wrong ? It's the same approach the kernel has
been using since back to Linux 1.2 and maybe earlier.

I know it's not your intention but you are also going to look bad to
the BSD and other communities if you try and break dual licensing as a
standard Linux thing for some code. It goes back decades (Ted's random
driver for example).
