Can I release an extension to a GPL'd library under a BSD-esque license?

BSD md5 vs GNU md5sum output format?
Any one knows why BSD md5 program produces hash output in this format ... MD5 (checksum.md5) = 9eb7a54d24dbf6a2eb9f7ce7a1853cd0 ... while GNU md5sum produces much more sensible format like this? 9eb7a54d24dbf6a2eb9f7ce7a1853cd0 checksum.md5 As far as I can tell, the md5sum format is much easier to parse and makes more sense.

I'm trying to open a shelve file that I created in 2.5, but I get the error I listed in the question title. The data aren't essential, but I really want them.

Difference between MIT/BSD and CC-BY licenses
MIT/BSD licenses basically say: Hey, use the stuff, but don't claim it's yours. CC-By license (without nc and the such, just the plain cc-by) says: Hey, use the stuff, but don't claim it's yours. Now is there any substantial difference between these licenses? What is the legalese trying to hide from our suspicious eyes? One point I co...
Is there a way to get the BSD number of a device in Mac OS X?
My program reads device paths like /dev/rdisk0 from input and then it looks in IOKit for a disk with the BSD name disk0. For this I have to remove /dev/r from the path. Hard coding this path can break in future versions of Mac OS X. Therefore I though of another way: I could match the IOService using the BSD Major and Minor version of t...

copying parts of code from an Artistic License 2.0 package. Possible?

How to properly wrap code which is BSD licensed
I would like to ask how to properly include the BSD copyright notice within a derivative work (which will not be licensed under BSD).

The name of the original work/code is not found on that file and I can see tha...
UNIX 'comm' utility allows for case insensitivity in BSD but not Linux (via -i flag). How can I get it in Linux?
Hi, I'm using the The excellent UNIX 'comm' command line utility in an application which I developed on a BSD platform (OSX). When I deployed to my Linux production server I found out that sadly, Ubuntu Linux's 'comm' utility does not take the -i flag to indicate that the lines should be compared case-insensitive. Apparently the POSIX s...
