Nothing in GPL prevents commercial use, and it doesn't limit your
ability to issue other licenses later. It does not limit the
author, only the user.
But you have to make sure that all patches you receive are
followed by a written statements where the ownership is
transferred to you. The patches makes it a derived work, and then
you need all the authors of that derived work to agree on an
additional license.

You cannot revoke GPL for released code, but you can stop
releasing new versions under GPL.
