In my understanding the problem is not so much about conflicting license
but about mixing compatible license with different definitions of
"free". Having GPL patches in a BSD codebase may cause trouble in case
of (i.e.) relicensing and should be avoided. The easiest solution seems
to be to use upstream's license or a license that is even "more free".
