Is this worded properly for a dual license? The paragraph about the Apache
License makes it sound like the Apache License must always be complied with:
"You may not use this file except in compliance with the License."

So I worry that this could be interpreted as:

Apache-2.0 AND BSD-2-Clause

instead of

Apache-2.0 OR BSD-2-Clause

It needs to be the latter.

So I think the file header needs to be clarified w.r.t. the dual license.

Side note: can you please also include a SPDX-License-Identifier?
