There is no license conflict.

Libraries are BSD.
Libraries are lz4, lz4hc and xxhash.
Libraries can be used by anyone into into any program.

Programs are GPL.
Programs are : lz4.exe, fullbench, fuzzer and 32-bits variants.
A GPL program can use BSD libraries. The produced (compiled) program is GPL.
Hence the Copying file states GPL.
