This does not contradict what I am saying. But the source files which were
distributed under BSD copyright must keep this copyright also, if someone
should develop improvements under GPL and distributes the *combined* work
under GPL. I still can extract the files under BSD (including improvements
on these files!) and use them under BSD. And I think this is a
sufficiently strong protection of a BSD library in most cases, because
commercial spin-offs have to face the free competition from the very
beginning.
