   Wouldn't it make sense to add a BSD 4-clause selection to the 
configuratioin? It should include a warning that selection of the option will 
cause violation of newer GPL licenses and will require some advertising.
   
   Yes, BSD 4-clause cannot be linked with current GPL.  That is GPL forbids 
linking with any other license that has additional requirements beyond GPL 
(such as the advertising clause).
   
   [I thought UC Berkeley had waived that clause, but perhaps that is not the 
case.  We talked about this extensively when we became Apache and out mentor 
assured us that there was no issue.  Revisiting those old discussions of 
2019-2020 would be worthwhile.
