Choosing GPL over a MIT/BSD style license mean limiting the use of a software. Think of it. There is a reason why many smart people choose an MIT/BSD/ISC style license over the GPL.
Well, some smart people put the GPL license over their library (so people are free to use it, as long as the final product is GPL itself!) AND allow to buy a proprietary license for the hooked people that want to use the library in a closed source product...
Looks legitimate to me, except when they adopt such licensing late in the game (like ExtJS did, going from LGPL to GPL).
