Multiple Licenses
Multiple such rel="license" hyperlinks indicate that the page is available under any of the referred licenses. E.g. the following hyperlinks could be used to declare that a page is available under either a Creative Commons 2.0 Attribution Required license or the Apache 2.0 license:
<a href="http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/2.0/" rel="license">cc by 2.0</a> <a href="http://www.apache.org/licenses/LICENSE-2.0" rel="license">Apache 2.0</a>
