I was hoping to get a clarification on the implications of dual licensing.
Many developers are under the impression that with dual-licensed software
you can choose which license's terms you abide by. Some contend that when
redistributing a project released under, for instance, BSD and LGPL
licenses, one must abide by the terms of both licenses. Noah Slater asked me
to bring this up with debian-legal as this is where he first learned of this
latter viewpoint. Can someone more knowledgeable than myself speak to the
actual implications of dual-licensing? Are there any restrictions placed
on users redistributing software that was dual-licensed, or is
dual-licensing specifically to address license compatibility (like
GPLv2/ASF) and market segregation issues as wikipedia suggests?
