I do not quite see why. I always thought of it this way: Distributing one
work with multiple licenses is equivalent with distributing multiple
identical copies of a work, each with a different license.

So you have two license options. You create a derivate work under one,
then the other. Instead of distributing two full copies, you merely add
them together and show both license options.

Is this wrong somehow?
