I'm puzzled as to what the real snag is here. It's somewhat common for
software to be dual-licensed. Take for example Qt. It is available under
the terms of the LGPL, and also under the terms of a commercial license
[1]. Is there some part of the Creative Commons suite that prevents dual
licensing? Do the traditional licenses for commercials require exclusive
terms and that point can't be negotiated? What specifically is
preventing you from registering with performance rights organizations?
Lessig mentions that ASCAP agreements are nonexclusive, but it seems
clear from the same blog post that there is a good deal of FUD flying
around that topic [2].
