Given:
A := BSD to all
B := BSD to few, GPL rest
C := GPL to all
A => free
C => free
Now, "Dual licensed under A and B" means "A OR B", so we can conclude:
A OR B => free
C OR B => free
However, without further "givens", we can logically conclude *nothing*
about B.
I think the apparent paradox is coming from confusing "dual license" to
mean "AND" instead of "OR".
