Actually, what matters in the content of the source files. Do some of
them refer to either license?
  - if the files only refer to GPLv2+, then the BSD-3c does not apply,
  - if the files only refer to BSD-3c, then the GPLv2+ does not apply,
  - if some file refer to one or two of the licenses, then both apply.

(/me likes how he managed to line up the above! ;-) )
