I've tried to get some more information and clear up my misconceptions, I can
of course not just relicense the existing code. Since mixing GPL and BSD without
advertising clause is not a problem if the resulting code _as a whole_ is GPL, I
think I only have to mark the pre-existing code being subject to the original
license. The code as a whole is not dual-licensed, so MODULE_LICENSE stays GPL.
Does that sound reasonable ?
Best regards,
Patrick
