BSD is fine.

GPL and related restrictions only apply to what we ship.  We have examples that use Hibernate for example, but it's fine as we don't actually ship hibernate.  Basically it's the excluded list on this page that we tend to avoid:

Hi Romain,

using such BSD-licensed code should be okay. May I ask what the reason
for your question is (makes things easier to explain)?

Cheers
