It's possible. But it doesn't satisfy the idea of GPL.
The purpose of GPL is to keep free software from becoming non-free software.
So, distributing codes under both of GPL and a milder license like BSD is
meaningless for GPL, because the milder license becomes an escape.
I'm not particular about license but couldn't ignore the idea of license.
