I think there's a tendency to assume that one license rules them all within a single package, tarball etc.

Just wondering what was the motivation to GPL this code ?
I mean, if I were to write a utility that was only useful for project X,
I'd want to license my code with the same (or a compatible) license
as X. I'd need a really good reason to use a different license.
