GNU logic 101.

The source code form must remain under the BSD. The BSD doesn't allow 
to turn work in source code form under BSD into GPL'd work. And as 
for binary form, the BSD requirement to "reproduce the above copyright 
notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer in the 
documentation and/or other materials provided with the distribution" 
is of course nothing but additional requirement not present in the 
GNU GPL.
