I agree with Joe on this, but I have to ask; What happens when someone
makes a change to this file? The default kernel license is GPL-v2. Does this
change automatically become the same as the file itself, or is the new
change under the dual license?

I've made changes to code that had a dual license that wasn't GPL
compatible, and the company involved asked me to sign off on the other
license (which I did).
