Ok - just to confirm, I will use the settings I showed below for the nightlies for the upcoming 6.x packages.

I will leave the 5.x series as AGPLv3+ etc., since that matches the LICENSE.README file in the 5.1 sources.

Thanks for confirming.

In particular we can specify dual licenses via "or" terms, and we can specify different licenses for separate parts of a project using "and" terms.  Nested combinations of the above are also allowed. Consequently, the license specifier can get very complex, but I'd like to keep it as simple as is practical.
