 [This section contains discussion of enhancements needed to the
 licensing framework.]
 
-       o Some packages are dual licensed, meaning that permission is
-         granted to copy under either of two licenses.  An example is
-         perl, with the license choice being GPL or the Artistic
-         license.  A way is needed to encode this situation in a
-         LICENSE= statement.  Possibilities include:
-
-         * Add a new license file that explains the dual licensing
-            situation and refers to license files for the two
-            licenses.  This may not scale, but a small number may
-            cover many common cases (in particular, GPL/Artistic may
-            cover most of them).
-
-         * Add some syntax that expresses dual licensing by referring
-            to multiple licenses.  For example, one could redefine the
-            value of LICENSE= to be an s-expression rather than a
-            token, and ues "(dual gnu-gpl-v2 artistic)".
-
-       o Some packages have multiple licenses, each covering a
-         different part of the package.  Redistribution requires
-         following the terms of all them.  It is not clear how often
-         this situation occurs, but an example is openssl when
-         patented algorithms are enabled.
-
-         * We could use "(multiple gnu-gpl-v2 modified-bsd)" to
-            represent this.
-
-       o The dual and multiple license situations can occur at the
-         same time, so ideally an arbitrary grammar is in order.
-         But this seems too complicated.
-
        o Documentation sometimes refers to a user "accepting a
          license".  This wording makes it sound like pkgsrc
          operations give rise to contracts, and pkgsrc should be as
