Of all those only LGPL is compatible with GPL.
All them are free software (or at least open source), but that doesn't
imply licences compatibility (on the other hand that doesn't really
matter as long they are separate programs).

So be careful about wording too; and don't talk about compatibility
when that isn't the case; and take care of not calling anything (L)GPL
"open source" either (while it is; RMS strongly states that is more than
just that, it is also free (libre) software. Which for that I agree with
him completly btw)
