I ran across this[1], which is apparently a popular license disclaimer
in the Rust community:
> Licensed under either of Apache License, Version 2.0 or MIT license
at your option.
> Unless you explicitly state otherwise, any contribution intentionally
submitted for inclusion in this crate by you, as defined in the
Apache-2.0 license, shall be dual licensed as above, without any
additional terms or conditions.
... this doesn't seem like it's legally valid to my non-lawyer eyes.
For example, if someone was using the code under the MIT license, then
presumably they wouldn't enjoy any of the APL's patent claim
protections. And, if you were a downstream recipient of the code, how
would you know what license you were receiving it under?
Am I missing something here?
