(Sorry for asking possibly stupid questions but I would like to
understand licensing if I contribute to a project)

I admit I have only contributed to the code side of TortoiseHg
(no translations), but my current understanding is that TortoiseHg is
licensed under GPL version 2.

I don't understand why BSD should be needed for TortoiseHg then?

Actually, BSD is incompatible with the license of TortoiseHg.
