Dear Günter,

The header of [this file](https://sourceforge.net/p/docutils/code/HEAD/tree/trunk/docutils/test/test_utils/test_math/test__init__.py) says:

```python
#!/usr/bin/env python3
# :Copyright: © 2024 Günter Milde.

#             Released without warranty under the terms of the
#             GNU General Public License (v. 2 or later)

# :License: Released under the terms of the `2-Clause BSD license`_, in short:

```

So it mentions both GPL and BSD license.

Do both licenses really apply, and if not, can the extra one be removed?
