I agree that the dual licensed code can relicensed either way. The original author has already said this.

I don't see what the issue is of people complaining about not giving back.
The code is GPL. Ergo you have the source, rewrite the measly 5% or 10% or 1% that is newly added GPL and incorporate it into the original dual BSD/GPL code and then release in BSD if you want. Come on folks are we all that unimaginative?

Where's the harm, so someone might have to do a little reading and writing.
You've got the gosh darn code! This is a copyright matter not a patent matter people, you can rewrite!

Granted, I think the Linux guys should have just left the copyright alone. They're all, both sides, acting like spoiled children. Heck my toddler has better manners. But then, I raise her that way.
