I couldn't have put it better in words.
So I have read it correctly :)

Still: If I get the project under the (L)GPL, may I _then_ use the
source
file which has the BSD conditions, without problems?
IMO it then has a dual-license:
 - BSD: the list of conditions mustn't be removed
 - GPL: due to the "no additional conditions" clause and implied by the
project.

Or am I wrong here?
