But what that hypothetical licence cover? Just the same code as the GPL
version with the only "benefit" that it can be used in a closed-source
environment? I guess I'm fine with such a scenario, but I don't like
"open source" business models where the free version is some basic stuff
while the real deal has to be paid for. Granted, that's usually the case
when the code is not community driven.

Not quite and I think you can already donate money, can't you?
