{BSD GPL} means the entire port is under your choice of BSD or GPL. It's
incorrect to set the license to this if some files are BSD and some
files are GPL. The overall license in that case is GPL. (Note that "{BSD
GPL}" is different to "BSD GPL". The latter is just redundant since GPL
+ anything GPL compatible = GPL.)

If all files are GPL and some files are GPL-2 only, the only license
that the entire port can be distributed under is GPL-2.
