Ok, then it's up to you. I would perhaps classify it as a library, even if
it has a Main method, since you are not providing an executable
in /usr/bin.

I think that's only an explanation, not the license itself, right? So it's
not necessary to put that in the copyright file. Dual-licensing is not too
uncommon so I think most readers understand, or can find out, what it
means.
