I can link BSD 2-clause, 3-clause and even 4-clause all into
the same program just fine. Forget the usual "BSD vs GPL"
argument about GPL viral unwillingness to play nice with other
licenses, the thing can't even play nice with *itself*!
AFAIK GPL3 is incompatible with any license, which doesn't
address patent problem, not just GPL2. Think of it as a next
generation of opensource licenses.
