I am a little confused about the licensing. The link to the jQuery license makes no mention of the GPL: https://jquery.org/license/

What exactly does the dual licensing entail? Could this project be effectively treated as MIT?

When any project is licensed under multiple licenses, you can pick any of those licenses and ignore the others. I believe jQuery was originally released under both, which means this code retains the GPL licensing from that time. jQuery is now only MIT, but that doesn't affect this project.

@ljharb The link you provided in the readme file lists JQuery as being Apache 2.0 licensed (https://jquery.org/license/). JQuery's license may have changed since you posted the link, but it's a little confusing as it's written now because there isn't any context as to why the link is provided. Regardless, I plan on treating your software as MIT (at my choice). But you may want to remove the link or provide some clarification.
