I feel obligated to point out the implications of that. It's probably (remember that I'm not a lawyer) legal to license your own parts of the code under the BSD license (but only for parts that are not based on the original code at all), but the overall project, i.e. libcue in this case, still needs to be licensed under the GPL to conform to section 2b of the GPLv2[1]. So Jochen would effectively be dual-licensing those parts of the code he wrote himself, but that's of limited use as long as the whole of libcue needs to be GPL'd. -Jan [1] http://www.gnu.org/licenses/old-licenses/gpl-2.0.html#SEC3 2b
