This is certainly not the place for GPL discussion, but just to make it clear,
as long as the copyright notice is preserved, there's no particular legal
problem with relicensing BSD code under the GPL (as has been done several
times with drivers in the Linux kernel). The copyright and the license are two
separate things.
