This mail from Alan states that BSD without advertising clause linked with GPL ends up as GPL anyways, so I'm not sure if there is a problem. http://www.ussg.iu.edu/hypermail/linux/kernel/0110.2/0924.html I'm going to look for some more information before bothering the authors with License stuff again.
I've tried to get some more information and clear up my misconceptions, I can of course not just relicense the existing code. Since mixing GPL and BSD without advertising clause is not a problem if the resulting code _as a whole_ is GPL, I think I only have to mark the pre-existing code being subject to the original license. The code as a whole is not dual-licensed, so MODULE_LICENSE stays GPL.
Does that sound reasonable ?
Best regards, Patrick
