As I wasn't around when the DFSG was drafted, it would be nice to hear
from those who were (yes, I'm too lazy to dig into the archive). There
are two possible explanations to having GPL and BSD listed as
examples:
1. GPL and BSD are DFSG-free licenses, thus you can use them to
compare other licenses to.
2. GPL and BSD were grandfathered into being possible licenses to
Debian, even though they are not DFSG-free. In this case you
obviously cannot compare other licenses to them.
