Why don't you just license it under a single free software license and call it a day? Why say "you have an infinite set of dual licenses"? If you really, really really don't care just use CC0.

I don't understand your focus on the "concept of licensing". It's such an odd thing to focus on with such vigour. In my mind, a license is a tool that allows me to ensure that users of my software have freedoms that they deserve. Some people use it as a tool for oppressing users. But licenses are a tool, simple as that. They are a consequence of copyright law. Copyright licenses have literally nothing to do with property rights (you can't put a copyright license on a goat or a piece of land).
