Dear Rahul Bedarkar,

I found the wording "If the package is released under multiple
licenses" as potentially confusing, as it could be understood as the
dual licensing case. So I've changed that to:

+  ** If different parts of the package are released under different
+  licenses

Which I believe is clearer.

I've explicited: "annonate the license with that component between
parenthesis".

And applied to master. Thanks!
