There are several answers to this by the way. Firstly as the authors of code you can multiply license material. Take a look at drivers/char/random.c in Linux for example. It has a dual license - you can use it in Linux under GPL or BSD. There are various other examples of dual licensed code and shared projects - the NCR SCSI, much of the AHA29xx SCSI and the MacLinux/ OpenBSD Mac booter.

Also current opinion is that the BSD 'no advertising' license is probably ok combined with GPL. The easiest way is to include an explicit either/or.

When you aren't the authors of code it gets messier however.
