As the author of the software, you can issue your code under a 
dual-license. To do so, make it clear that the software is available under 
both licenses, and that whoever uses it can choose. I think perl does 
this, with the Artistic License and GPL. Put both GPL and BSD copyright 
headers in all the files you want to put under the dual license, and maybe 
write a paragraph over it that the user can choose which one to use, but 
that both licenses must be retained when passing on the file.

GPL #10 has a few words on this, but isn't every clear.

That sounds useful, but I cannot speak for the people doing the actual 
work on the NetBSD port. :)
