But isn't a composite work made of GPL and BSD bits ultimately GPL? I
thought that's how it works, and Wikipedia seems to back me up
(
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNU_General_Public_License#Compatibility_and...),
although of course that's not authoritative. :)
This specific scenario was a point of contention a while back, when
Linux took some driver code from one of the *BSDs. The gist of it is
that source code doesn't stop being BSD just because the binary is GPL.
