Yes. The *rights you received* are the central point of the question.
Which did the user receive? The BSD granted ones? Or the GPLv2 granted ones?
If some software is dual licensed, you have two sets of rights you can choose.
It's not both at the same time. The text is even explicit: "alternatively"
But you also received the right to chose either or. So if you have to
pass that on, too.
Haha, show me proof. Where does it say so? Come on, don't hide behind
assumptions. Where it the text below does it say so? Don't give me any
interpretation blablabla, just put some ^^^ underneath the words...
Do you really have so much problems with logical reasoning? I get the
feeling that you are just trolling, nothing more.
Again, slowly written, so that you can follow ((slowly) read it over and
over again until you understand):
* Copyright (c) 2007 Jiri Slaby <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>

This part grants you the right to distribute the software under the
terms of the GPL.
That means you receive the right to distribute the software under the
terms of the GPL.
This means you receive the right.
This means this right is one right of all the rights you received.
Hey, didn't (1) talk about the rights you received? Now I wonder if the
right you just received is a right you received.
So, either:
a) you didn't receive this right, so you are not allowed to distribute
the software under the terms of the GPL, or
b) you did receive this right and thus have to pass on this right. If
not, you're not complying with the GPL. Which is okay, because
c) you can still distribute the software under the terms of the BSD
license, which nevertheless states that you have to retain the copyright
notice and the license terms.
It's really easy, almost binary: Either you receive the right, then you
receive the right. Or you don't receive the right and you can not make
use of the right.
But I guess you won't agree here, because this is logic, but you want
written proof.
