So true, the license You use can't be removed. But when You get the dual-licensed software, when You start modifying it You arrange the licensing deal on terms of either first or second or both licenses. You choose the license You gain You rights from and after You accepted it, You can do whatever You want copyright until the law and the license You accepted prohibit. The license You didn't accept doesn't restrict You any way until otherwise stated by the developper. -- Dmitrij D.
