How do I use the correct licensing? (lemmy.basedcount.com)

I recently made a library for bevy, and want it to be available under the same dual license as bevy. What i've done is created both licence files and copy-pasted the contents, as well as copy the license sections from another bevy project. Is this all I need to do? I'm not a lawyer and am very new to all of this.

I'm also not a lawyer, but including both license files and adding to your README that your project is dual-licensed under both licenses at the user's choice should be sufficient. GitHub should also detect both licenses and show them in the project's side bar.

If you copy-pasted the licenses, just make sure to adapt the MIT license, as it includes the year and name of the copyright holder. You should adapt these to your project.
