license unclear #14

license.txt has a copy of LGPLv2.1. readme.md says
"Lesser General Public License (LGPL) and MIT for academic projects"

Does that mean:

  1. LGPL, or {MIT for academic projects only}, or
  2. "LGPL for academic projects only, or MIT for academic projects only"

What does "for academic projects" mean (what is an academic project)?

Since neither LGPL (including the version in license.txt) nor the MIT license as commonly understood have any limitation to "academic projects", are you aware of that and are trying to modify these open source licenses so that your project can only be used by "academic projects"?

If the correct interpretation is 1) ("academic projects get special permission to use MIT instead of LGPL"), does this mean that any distributee of the academic project that is not an academic project has to revert to treating the license as LGPL, or do you mean something else?

Thanks for the good point.
Just to avoid any uncertainty I have removed MIT and "academic project" statements.
So, the project is under LGPL only.
