Re: [jQuery] licensing question

You're talking about this page, right?

http://docs.jquery.com/License

I rewrote it to be more clear and to reflect the actual intent of the license.

See if your patent attorney finds it more palatable now...

Thanks,

I really like your software and software based on it, but I can't use it
because of the language used in your licensing, according to our patent
attorney.

It reads

under both MIT and GPL licenses. This means that you can choose the
license that best suits your project, and use it accordingly.

If it read "under either the MIT or GPL licenses" then you would have
achieved the intent of your second sentence.  Any chance you could
change it?
