Hi,

regarding the dual licensing I found this interesting post from Roy Fielding

http://www.mail-archive.com/[email protected]/msg34292.html

It says, that it does not make any sense to chose a license. If an
artifact is dual licensed then it is dual licensed - no need to chose.
I think our process to mention all licenses is perfectly fine here ;)

It is a difficult topic and every podling that I have followed so far
has problems to get this right.

Best,
 - Fabian
