I mean that if I create something under the FOO license, and the FOO license
says "When this code is combined with the GPL (version 2 or version 3), it
can be relicensed under the appropriate version of the GPL.  I did not mean
to imply that GPL-covered software could be relicensed under other licensing
terms.  Licenses like the SimPL explicitly permit relicensing under the GPL.
