Question regarding licensing: [1] states that a source file can be "one of the compatible GPL variants and alternatively under a permissive license like BSD, MIT etc."

Looking at a rust source file inside the dev tree 'Rust-for-Linux' [2], it is licensed as "Apache-2.0 OR MIT". However, Apache-2.0 appears to be incompatible with GPL-2.0 [3]. How come that the licensing in such a way is possible with the Linux licensing rules?

  GCC Front-End for Rust

  

I think the GCC Front-End For Rust [1] is going to have an even larger impact going forward.
