Comment(by demetris):

 @hakre,

 The licence of the IXR class (the one linked to from the file header) is
 not the original BSD Licence, and it does not have the advertising clause
 that makes the original BSD Licence incompatible with the GPL.

 This list at the GNU site explains which BSD licences are compatible and
 which are not compatible with the GPL:

 http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html

 I think there is no problem here.
