That said, 2.0 will never be completely replaced since we have to get permission from all the authors. I know of at least one long contributor who has passed away and efforts to contact their estate have been fruitless. The best we can hope for is a dual licensed library.

Thank you for the 2301 release which now adds the cc-by-4.0 license text and many files now state:

Code:
Licensed under CC BY 2.0 and CC BY 4.0

But this does mean that the files are released under both licenses, which means that the terms of both licenses apply to files marked with above line, correct? This is not actually dual licensing where the recipient of the license grant can choose which license to use as you said above, no?

As of the last release, only the files authored by PTadmin seem to be released under cc-by-4.0 only. Is this going to change in the future?
