I have some BSD-licensed code which I'd like to include in NSPR,

How is this traditionally done? Asking the author to relicense is not
an option.
That particular code has the BSD advertising clause, which would
normally mean we can't include it. However, fortunately, the copyright
owner is the Regents of the University of California. A blanket
permission exists from the University of California at Berkeley to
remove that clause from code:
ftp://ftp.cs.berkeley.edu/pub/4bsd/README.Impt.License.Change
So we can include the code and remove the clause.
We also need to add the license boilerplate to about:licence. Please
file a bug for this work.
