If you mean "can you use BSD licensed code on a system that otherwise uses GPL licensing", yes you can. BSD code can be used almost everywhere (Microsoft used to use BSD licensed networking code in Windows). If you mean "can I change a BSD license to a GPL one", IANAL but generally only the copyright holder can change the license under which they release their code. As always for anything legal, if you need a truly correct answer you will need to consult a lawyer, preferably a specialist in intellectual property. -- We build our computer systems the way we build our cities; over time, without a plan, on top of ruins. — Ellen Ullman
