I would add that, if the grant is really a dual-licensing scheme (that is to say: the recipient may choose whichever license he/she likes best, out of the two being offered), then the LGPL may be dropped entirely. After all, the 3-clause BSD license is way more permissive than the LGPL and does not include any restriction not present in the LGPL. As a consequence, I would say that offering the LGPL as a second choice is totally moot, once you have already offered the 3-clause BSD license as a first choice... > > > As it stands, despite these ambiguities and errors which should be > corrected: I think any recipient of this work has full exercise of the > DFSG freedoms under either of the licenses dual-granted.
