There's not much point dual licensing with BSD and GPL. It's equivalent to the BSD license alone, so why be confusing about it?
Dual licensing makes sense when the two licenses are otherwise incompatible. E.g. GPL and MPL. Technically, neither of those licenses permits most people to redistribute the resulting work under a dual license. So ongoing work on that kind of dual licensed work is arguably not permitted at all, unless you go through the original authors.
ObKernel: the pcmcia subsystem is dual licensed under GPL and MPL.
