Please remember that this option is only legally possible if the
Middleman author is the sole copyright holder for the upstream code.
I.e., it will not be legal if he has reused code from purely-GPL

offered them under the pure GPL (unless those people officially have
signed over their copyrigt or can be made to explicitly accept a GPL
exemption).
