What licenses to offer free non commercial use and paid for commercial use..?

Dear all,

I have created a software and I'd like to know if I could open source it for non commercial use only, and at the same time, be able to sell it for commercial use.

The software would be free as in speech and as in beer for non commercial use, and it would have to be paid for when used for commercial purposes.

A company would have to pay me for using it.

But a non profit organisation would not have to.

I was thinking of having it under a dual license. One GPL license and one "Pay for" license.

Is this something possible..?

Thanks

Stephane

Indeed I'd like to have my software free for non commercial use and not free for commercial use.

I shall have a look at the MySql license.

Thanks
