| # Editor license and legal terms | ||
|
|
||
| The following legal notices apply to CKEditor 5 and all software from CKEditor 5 Ecosystem included with it. | ||
| CKEditor is dual-licensed. This means we make it available under a choice between an open source and a commercial license. |

under a choice sounds a bit clunky, but I may be wrong, @godai78 could you check?

FYI: This is straight from ckeditor.com new licensing page.

This does not mean it is worded properly :D
I'd say "This means you can choose between..." cause this is simple and straightforward.
And I would update it on the new licensing page as well.

A couple of times LanguageTool marked for me GPL license as This phrase is redundant (‘L’ stands for ‘license’). Use simply “GPL”. But I think it's quite common to use it this way.

I'd stick to "GPL License" even if it's droll. People tend to understand better.
