You can just let the BSD license as is, or relicense the BSD code to (L)GPL, both are legal and valid. If you collate GPL and BSD code in the same file, you'll likely want to just assume the GPL. The BSD license basically gives you the freedom to relicense the code. Usually, you want to state in your code where the (BSD-)code comes from, for that, a comment should be enough. > This question is related to Plasma Media Center bug > https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=323254 . I'd just state, under the GPL header "This code was taken from yadda yadda, originally licensed under the BSD-2-clause license. You can find hte original version <link>here</link>." Or, go for the BSD license, and remove the GPL header (if both copyright holders are OK with that.)
