Please clarify the license - is it AND or OR #25

based on this reference for license expressions, your current text suggests that to use this both GPL and MIT must be followed though i suspect you meant that the code is licensed with either of them?

Hi @Knagis thanks for your inquiry.

Short answer, you can use either. If you have a suggestion about how I can clarify this, please don't hesitate to share. IANAL.

When I originally wrote this library, my preferred license was GPLv3 to help ensure that open source projects would have an advantage over commercial projects. I received a request early on from another open source project that I offer it under MIT to enable them to use the library in their project. I left both licenses intact so that projects could choose.

IANAL myself, but I think the new wording makes it crystal clear about the intent. Thank you for very quick response!
