It's worth pointing out here that

1. Debian is not the copyright holder.

2. The copyright holders, in this case the authors of freeradius, saw
no problem with it.  They'd hardly have written GPL-licensed software
that depends on a BSD-licensed package if they did, because the strict
intepretation says that their code is undistributable, and obviously
they intend to distribute it.
