Relicense might not the best word but compatible also doesn't cover it in this context. Saying you can "assimilate" BSD licensed code in to a GPL project might be more appropriate. Since rights such as "Redistribution and use in source and binary forms" which the BSD gives you no longer apply after the code is in a GPL project [1]. You can't do this with CDDL licensed source code. [1] https://softwarefreedom.org/resources/2007/gpl-non-gpl-collaboration.html https://softwarefreedom.org/resources/2007/gpl-non-gpl-colla...
