yes, but all parts of  the original code are still licensed under the BSD licencse.
You can not change the original license by choosing a different one.

  It
retains the original copyright notice (which we have in d/copyright),
but the license is no longer BSD. This is why I chose not to mention the
BSD license (as it could imply that this file is using a dual-license).

It somehow is licensed under "ISC and BSD3".


Do you believe this is something we should mention in d/copyright, and
how should I do it?

I didn't check how much original code is still present, but I would suggest to add a separate block for test/HieDemoSpec.hs with license ISC and an additional comment that parts of the file are copyright by IIJ and under a BSD license.
