Thank you very much for this! I'm +1 big time on dual licensing.

I'm fine either way.

I like the idea of adding a LICENCE-FAQ.md. I think I would also provide 
2 download links:
   - GeoExt FOSS version: click here
   - If you own an ExtJS Commercial Licence: Click here
   - See FAQ for details

I think that for any license change we do need a confirmation of all 
actual contributor since they technically "own" the code.
