% licensecheck -R --copyright . | grep BSD
./common/src/platform/solaris/timegm.cpp: BSD (3 clause) 
./common/src/platform/windows/strncasecmp.cpp: BSD (3 clause) 
./common/src/platform/windows/timegm.cpp: BSD (3 clause) 
./common/src/platform/windows/strptime.cpp: BSD (3 clause) 
./common/src/platform/android/timegm.cpp: BSD (3 clause)

This means that a GPLed software is linking against openssl (which has a
