Thanks.

So, for the dual licensing, is there an implied "OR" between the two licensing clauses? IANAL, but I don't think AFL and GPL are compatible enough for it to be an "AND".

If it helps, HAL was originally AFL and GPL dual licenced, and I suppose the file header could have been copied from hal to polkit as it was the same maintainer (David Z). I'm pretty sure PolicyKit was just supposed to be GPLv2+.

    Hi,

    I am trying to confirm the licensing that applies to some early
    PolicyKit code and David Zeuthen referred me here.

    The licensing comment reads:

    Should this code be considered to be under the AFL 2.1 license or
    the GPLv2 license?

    Thanks,
