I am giving one specific exemption to the GPL and that is as follows:
In addition, an exemption is given to allow Run Time Dynamic Linking of this code with any closed source module that does not contain code covered by this licence.
Only the source code to the module(s) containing the licenced code has to be released.
It is a rather simple exemption and similar exemptions are given for other packages.
As for using the same code under GPL and under a different licence, see this page:
http://www.trolltech.com/company/model.html
Trolltech release their code under both the GPL and a closed source licence.
And they arent the only ones, several others do it to.
If you own the copyright to something, you can release it under as many licences are you like.
