Help: Copyright notice

[Daniel Carrera <dcarrera@math.umd.edu>]

Hi guys,

It's me again :-)
I asked my team aobut using a dual license, GPL / CC-BY. So far the 
response has been good. Several people have said "yay" and no one has said 
"nay". We are currently drafting the copyright notice. Some people wanted 
to make the terms clearer. So this is what I came up with:


   This document is Copyright 2004 by its contributors as defined in
   the section titled Authors. You can distribute it and/or modify it
   under the terms of either the GNU General Public License, version 2     
   or later (http://www.gnu.org/licenses/gpl.html), or the Creative
   Commons Attribution License, version 2.0 or later
   (http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/).


I have now been asked to run this by you. To see if anyone here sees a 
problem with it. In particular, someone was wondering if we were required 
to add "under the terms of" before "the Creative Commons...".

I am pretty sure we don't need that, on the basis that Perl's notice 
doesn't have it. This is Perl's notice:

  <perl-notice>
    This program is free software; you can redistribute it and/or modify
    it under the terms of either:

        a) the GNU General Public License as published by the Free
        Software Foundation; either version 1, or (at your option) any
        later version, or

        b) the "Artistic License" which comes with this Kit.
  </perl-notice>


Notice that the notice I wrote follows the Perl one. I figured that Perl 
is a tried-and-true Free Software project with a dual license.

Thoughts? Comments?

Cheers,
