When discussing Debian/BSD with BSD adherents, I encountered
a current of hostility.  

I traced the hostility to a misconception on their part:
They think we want to relicense their stuff under the GPL.

An official announcement that we have no intention of relicensing 
any BSD packages would go a long way toward relaxing any latent 
hostility, and might make active cooperation (e.g. upstream
patches) more conceivable.
