How fascinating. But to begin with your problem is that GPLv3 itself
talks about "license from the *original licensors*" (section 10) and
even elaborates that "[s]ublicensing is not allowed". So tell us
stupid once again how that conversion theory supposed to work and what
made you become original licensor to Chris Travers' BSDL code.
