The thing is, they don't have to dual license it for it to be usable
by both Linux and BSD!

Including BSD-licensed code in Linux is prefectly legitimate, and in
fact, there is already such code in Linux now.

So, if they were to simply put a BSD license on the code, then everyone
would be happy, and there wouldn't be any of the dual-license confusion.
