i have submitted a patch to burkhard (and he has quickly incorporated it
in upstream - thanks again) that does:
- rebase lib/base64.c on a clause-3 BSD licensed version of the file
(the new base is
http://mediatools.cs.ucl.ac.uk/nets/mmedia/browser/common/trunk/src/base64.c,
which is simply a re-licensed (with agreement by the copyright owner)
version of the original file)
- lib/os.c has the BSD-code moved away into lib/os_inet_aton.c (which
can be excluded by us)
- include/bgav_sem.h has the BSD-code moved out into
include/bgav_sem_bsd.h (which can be excluded by us)

so i think the issues are now fixed upstream...
