I am releasing it under both licences, to facilitate changing it, and what not. GPL is a software licence, and CC-By-SA is a generic license (sort of), more documentation oriented. I would require everyone to release it under CC-By-SA if I had my way. And no, there are no limitations to releasing something under two licences. It is GPL *OR* CC-By-SA, not AND. You can use either.
