Dear Simon,

When using jsplumb in a commercial project, lawyers become picky about the wording :).

When reading that jsplumb is "dual-licensed under MIT and GPLv2", I assume that means that I can choose whether I can use it EITHER under the MIT license OR under the GPL license? This would be similar to the dual-licensing of Logback (http://logback.qos.ch/license.html).

--cut--
Logback: the reliable, generic, fast and flexible logging framework.
Copyright (C) 1999-2012, QOS.ch. All rights reserved.

This program and the accompanying materials are dual-licensed under
either the terms of the Eclipse Public License v1.0 as published by
the Eclipse Foundation
 
  or (per the licensee's choosing)
 
under the terms of the GNU Lesser General Public License version 2.1
as published by the Free Software Foundation.
--end--

BTW: Due to the need to include JGraphT in commercial projects, the team decided to kick-off a relicensing process to LGPL/EPL dual license (https://github.com/jgrapht/jgrapht/wiki/Relicensing).

Cheers,

Oliver

Yes you can choose either, exactly. This is how jQuery is licensed
(with the same two choices).
