Redistributions must retain this list of conditions

What's the difference with clause 1 and 2, they don't apply to all 
derivative works? (this was my primary problem, sorry to repeat it).

I'm happy to make you laugh.
So what you say is that, clause 1:

>Redistributions of source code must retain the above copyright 
>notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer.

means that I have to retain the list of conditions from the BSD 
license or the list of conditions from another license (say GPL) if 
my code is licensed under this other license?
I think I definitely have a problem with the semantic of this.

It's not what I meant. You seem to say that I can delete the list of 
conditions of the BSD license if I release the software under another 
license saying that the copyright notice, the warranty disclaimer and 
the license should be kept.
