Karl Berry has been going over the libcdio code to change it from GPL V2 to V3 and remarked: The BSD license used these days (no advertising clause) is compatible with the GPL (both 2 and 3). So you can incorporate BSD-licensed code in libcdio, there is no legal problem. So if he's correct, there is no legal problem and I'll consider it for an libcdio version 0.81 release. But of course there's the question of whether folks would take offence and/or be desireable. I've sent email to drochner at the netbsd org address asking for his view since his email is listed on the existing 0.76 source code.
