That's a good question: I thought, since we offer the content in dual
licensing (people who receive it are free to use it under the terms of
the MIT *or* GPL2+), that we (the authors) have to offer it under both
licenses (MIT *and* GPL2+), but my understanding of legal logic can be
flawed.

So the text should be more direct, right?

Here are the two more direct proposals, “and” and “or” versions, don't
know which one is compliant with what we intend to ask.

----------------------8<--- [AND version ] ---8<----------------------

  I hereby relicense all the material that I have provided to the Debian
website under the terms of the MIT (Expat) License and of the GNU
General Public License, version 2 and any later version.

---------------------->8---------------------->8----------------------

----------------------8<---- [OR version ] ---8<----------------------

  I hereby relicense all the material that I have provided to the Debian
website under the terms of the MIT (Expat) License or of the GNU General
Public License, version 2 or any later version.
