Both licenses are entirely readable, and I encourage you to read them. Briefly, the GPLv2 requires that when you distribute the fully linked binary you also distribute the complete source code used to build it, or make that source code available in some fashion. The BSD license requires that when you distribute the fully linked binary you avoid claiming an endorsement from the original author. Both licences require that you include a copy of the copyright statement and the license, including any warranty disclaimer. For both licenses, if you simply distribute the source code rather than a linked binary, then there are no additional requirements other than including copies of the license (and not claiming an endorsement). For both licenses, if you link the code together into a linked binary and do not distribute that binary--that is, you only run it yourself, and you don't give a copy to anybody else--then there are no restrictions on how you may run that binary.
