As I understand the BSD license, BSD licensed code can be rereleased
under the GPL. See drivers/scsi/ncr53c8xx.c in the Linux kernel. This
code was BSD licensed, it originates from FreeBSD, was ported to Linux
and rereleased under the GPL.

:-) The license text in echohttpd is stolen from NetBSD, my preferred
operating system. So you can say that the license of echohttpd is the
BSD license. 
[looking in to the original 4.4BSD-Alpha source code in the TUHS
archive, finding usr/src/etc/COPYRIGHT]
Yes. This is _the_ BSD license that was used by the CSRG at Berkley.
