Fine with me.

Fine with me.
But not exactly BSD. The real BSD license means that you have
to make references to Berkeley University in the code, or
something equally silly. I believe what we really want is an
XFree-style license.

Fine with me, but is it really neccesary that WE license them as GPL
too. AFAIK X-style/BSD license allow you to redistribute the code
with any licensing as long as the copyright notice is intact.
Thus people that prefer GPL over BSD can sublicense the code to 
themselves under a GPL license. This will save us the fuzz with
distributing code under two licenses.

Fine with me.
