As long as the code in question still has its original copyright and the
standard disclaimer of liability and the list of conditions. A standard
BSD-like license says "Redistributions ... must retain the above copyright
notice, this list of conditions and the following disclaimer."

I don't think anyone would be upset unless someone didn't follow the
conditions. For example, see the GPL'd g4l project which previously copied
lines verbatim from the BSD-licensed g4u but didn't include any
indication.
