FSF is pretty clear on the topic:

  http://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses/gpl-faq.html#WhatDoesCompatMean
  http://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses/gpl-faq.html#OrigBSD (implicit, but I believe still of value: we are using the revised BSD license)

FWIW, we also had a lot of discussion about translation licensing in
Launchpad with Benjamin Mako Hill months ago, who is now at FSF.


Cheers,
Danilo
