I think he wants to have a GPL version so that everybody who wants to
use this in software for free have to use the GPL license too. However
if you want to make commercial software you can buy the library under
the commercial license and thereby you can choose your license for your
product.

Btw if one use GPL libraries in a program it can still be released under
GMGPL, right?
