The kernel requires GPL, and its much much easier for everyone to state
so explicitly to avoid future surprises (remember 4 clause BSD was once
thought GPL compatible even by the FSF...)

If you want to make it clear it's also available BSD licensed in this
form (at least until someone changes it) see the wording in files like
drivers/char/random.c

That usually keeps all the lawyers happy.
