[antlr-interest] ANTLR v3 compatible with GPL?

Hi,
I have read on the antlr.org that ANTLR v3 is BSD licensed. Does that 
mean that is incompatible to the GPL and therefore can't be used with 
GPL'd applications? That would be a big drawback from ANTLR v2 for, 
probably, several apps.

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

A modification of the BSD license 
(http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#ModifiedBSD) would make 
ANTLR 3 also usable for GPL projects.
