In their blog post, announcing the sharing of their work, they mention
licensing it under BSD, but in the repository the COPYING file still
contains the GPLv2 licence, so I'm not sure what's going on there.

GPL v2 Section 2 clause b:
You must cause any work that you distribute or publish, that in
whole or in part contains or is derived from the Program or any
part thereof, to be licensed as a whole at no charge to all third
parties under the terms of this License.

I don't think I can use a linking exception when I license my code, as
the GPL says I must license my code with the same licence that the
original code used.

Am I correct about this? I looked at the FOSS exception, but it
doesn't seem to apply in this case.
