IANAL
The response below was a little short - I thought I might elaborate.
As I understand it, I am allowed to give rights to my software twice by using two licenses. It is _my_ software after all. If the exceptions add restrictions or contradict the GPL, then I can see it as defying the GPL - and hence, illegal. Otherwise, there shouldn't be a problem. Please correct me if I am wrong.
One problem I do see is that the viral nature of the GPL won't include any additional rights and exceptions. I don't see any way around this.

add exceptions to it, thus:
As a special exception to the above license, you may <do whatever>
And then, you should not call it the GPL. Regards, Mahesh T Pai. -- license-discuss archive is at http://crynwr.com/cgi-bin/ezmlm-cgi?3
