Thanks for the feedback, Dmitrijs. I'm actually taking my cues from jQuery
which is dual licensed MIT/GPL and merely says:

> /*!

> http://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/1.4/jquery.min.js

However, I just added the MIT license block in addition to the GPL and MIT
license URLs. Good that you thought of those without Internet access.

More on why dual licensing is a good idea:

Thanks!
