I think what John meant was similar to to following analogy: You are a book 
publisher and wish to release an anthology. All of the short stories you wish 
to include are licensed under the BSD license. You can release the anthology 
under the GPL license. A reader of your anthology cannot redistribute it 
under any terms except the GPL. However, a reader can redistribute the 
individual stories under the terms of the BSD license.
