An author licensing their software in the manner of their choosing is
"unfair"?  The author(s) are the one who have invested time, effort,
and infrastructure in a project.  Allowing them to choose the license
seems like the *only* reasonable application of the term fairness to
licensing.

And "community debilitating"?  MySQL is dual-licensed and has been
forever.  It's community seems to be doing just fine.
