How are you planning to offer the PSL and CSL versions of reduce?

If in separate ports, or in subports, then just indicate the different license in each port or subport.

If in variants, you can change the license in a variant, but that's probably not as obvious to the user, so consider using separate ports or probably better subports instead.
