Comment:

 Since the IXR library uses the modified BSD license (according to comments
 by @ryan and the actual license linked from the library:
 http://www.opensource.org/licenses/bsd-license.php) and is, in fact, GPL
 compatible, I suggest closing this as "invalid."  It's not actually a
 problem, though kudos to @hakre for pointing it out so we could double
 check!

 For those who want more explanation - the IXR library uses the modified
 "3-clause" BSD (also known to some as FreeBSD).  This is a modified
 version of the original BSD license that omits the advertising clause (it
 was rescinded in 1999).
