The file you are moving this from is GPL only.
It's BSD.
You will need to find who contributed this code you are moving
and get ack from them ...
Simpler to keep BSD.
Just for completeness: you're free to GPL a derived work. The folks who
BSD-licensed it to you may consider that offensive, but the law doesn't
consider it wrong.
You may care a whole lot more for how these folks feel about you than
what the law permits you to do.
I'd consider switching to GPL only if I made substantial changes.
