Each section of the code independently maintains its own copyright. You should
be clear where you copied the code from and under what license it came from.
(add some comments to your source)
However, the combined work gets to be licensed under the union of the two
licenses. A 2- or 3-clause BSD license adds no requirements on top of the
GPLv2 or v3, which means that the combined work retains the GPL license from
the rest of the code.
A 4-clause BSD license adds one requirement on top of the GPL. For that
reason, redistribution is not permitted and the 4-clause BSD license is
considered incompatible with the GPL. Do not combine works containing the 4-
clause BSD license with GPL code.
