Mostly, it just makes it explicitly clear that the software can be redistributed under the terms of the GPL in case anyone is particularly nervous or conservative about that. (It's generally believed that this can be done for MIT-licensed software regardless of whether it's dual-licensed, since there aren't any license terms that conflict.) -- Russ Allbery (r...@debian.org) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-mentors-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
