But if the contributors wish their code to be licensed under the GPL (which 
is implicit if they contribute to a GPL'd project), shouldn't you respect 
their wishes? If people license their code under the GPL it's because they 
*don't* want it to be released under the LGPL, MPL or any other license.

I'm curious: what situation can you forsee where you would want to 
dual-license a Helix app? I really hope this doesn't have anything to do with 
getting Sun, IBM and HP to adopt Gnome by allowing them to develop 
proprietary code forks.
