some people mention dual-licensing, but I'm not sure how that works.

That's because it doesn't. A license is only good as its enforcement, which in your case is nil.

Sorry if I wasn't clear, I meant I personally don't understand to use dual-licensing, and what is does; not how dual-licensing actually does something.
