Actually, that's fine; you're not changing the license on the BSD
code, you're adding another on top of it.  BSD license doesn't say
"You can't add more restrictions on top of this", it just says "you
have to keep this credit and disclaimer".  Taking in BSD-licensed
code, and putting out BSD+GPL'd (simultaneous, not alternate) code
doesn't violate the BSDL.
