Since you're not the copyright holder of the original code, you have no

I'm not sure what the correct way to do this is. An out-of-tree approach
will definitely work, since the licenses are compatible according to
lists provided by e.g. the FSF.
If the authors would agree to a copyright transfer of this copy of the
code, that'll also work but it's annoying to get that.

​While all the above is true, we do occasionally make exceptions for including non-FSF owned code inside GNU Radio, as long a the licenses are compatible.  We try to avoid this as much as possible and have actually been removing such code a little at a time as it becomes possible.​

In this case, I don't think we'd want to include it, but I wanted to clarify the above.​
