I really don't see the point.
This makes things *worse*.
"Dual BSD/GPL" actually tells you something: it tells you that you can take that code, and use it in a BSD project.
In contrast "GPL-compatible" tells you nothing at all.
So you are actually removing real information, and just making things harder for everybody.
