Maybe this helps:

The BSD license does not permit to relicense the code, so you cannot put BSD 
code under the GPL. This was e.g. explained by Theo de Raath some years ago 
already. The result was that Linux people did remove the GPL header from all 
BSDd Linux source files that have not been 100% written by the same person that 
added the GPL header.

The BSD license permits to mix a source file under BSD license with some lines 
under a different license if you document this. But this is not done in all 
cases I am aware of.

Up to now, nobody could explain me how a mixture of GPL and BSD can be legal as 
this would require (when following the GPL) to relicense the BSD code under GPL
in order to make the whole be under GPL.

In other words, if you can legally combine BSD code with GPL code, you can do 
with GPL and CDDL as well.
