I'm not an expert, but is that BSD licence is the one without the advertisement 
clause the it is GPL compatible, and furthermore it can be changed to GPL by 
anyone, i.e. if you make a slight modification of PCRE you can release the 
entire code as GPL. So you can licence your framework using the GPL and assign 
the copyright to the FSF at will. I think that you could even do it if you 
maintained the BSD licence, but inclusion on GNUstep would thus be denied.
