GPLv2

In the f2fs/jffs2 thread a point about licensing arose.
Martin mentioned that the original code is part of Linux, assuming
that it is GPLv2 (we'll check).
However, Chris asked for a dual licensing scheme in order to include
it in RTEMS.
I read in https://www.rtems.org/license/LICENSE "...GNU General Public
License as published by the Free Software Foundation; either version
2..." so I'm confused: why should we ask for a dual license? Isn't
GPLv2 indeed the same RTEMS uses?

Please explain me.

Thanks!

   Daniel.
