IIRC, it's more dependent upon the licence in the individual files,
not the note that satisfies the Linux kernel's just utterly weird
"tell me your license so I can refuse to load you" bits.

But, the files in there, where they aren't (c) reyk@, appear to be
either straight-up BSD-with-GPL option, or apparently cut-n-paset
from OpenBSD's license.template(!) (as in the file you say is dual-
licensed), so I think you're on solid footing here.
