Re: help with crafting proper license header for a dual-licensing project

The project developers want to distribute a single set of source files under both the licenses. They don't want to have to maintain two different directories with two different versions of the same files with merely the license headers differing.

Please examine the attached latest draft of the license header and tell me whether it is appropriate to achieve the desired purpose.

Thanks, as always.
