I think it would be best to indicate that both exist in the SPDX tag so that decisions can be made about this rather bad situation of licenses. Though it may be a subset it is still unclear as to exactly what this means, or how to apply them seperatly. Technically the 2 clause "authors" are above the 3 clause license in the file, does that mean that clause 3 applies to them too? I do not believe that was the original intent, but that is the literal fact. Use of above and below in the license is probably bad legal form and should have an absolute reference rather than an ambibous relative reference. -- Rod Grimes rgrimes@freebsd.org
