<div dir="ltr">Thanks for the feedback, Dmitrijs. I'm actually taking my cues from jQuery which is dual licensed MIT/GPL and merely says:<br><blockquote style="margin: 0pt 0pt 0pt 0.8ex; border-left: 1px solid rgb(204, 204, 204); padding-left: 1ex;" class="gmail_quote">

</div>Kind of pointless =) MIT is compatible with GPL and MIT is less<br>
restrictive =) so *everyone* will choose MIT =)<br>
<br>
Plus you need to think about people without internet access who might<br>
receive your software. (or have internet access but live in a<br>
prosecuted country and get your software e.g. via printout in a<br>
letter).<br>
<br>
So actually it would have been absolutely amazing to have this header<br>
(taken from <a href="http://opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php" target="_blank">http://opensource.org/licenses/mit-license.php</a>)<br>
