For two licenses, the restrictions of both apply. For GPL, if the other license restricts anything that GPL allows, then GPL does not give you a license. Thus you have to see if there is anything in the BSD license which restricts what the GPL grants. Also you need to check which GPL license (2 3 Library,...) If you have real question about the law, a lawyer is the best source of advice (one that is competent in Copyright and licensing law). William G.

Hello, I have a question about the pppd and the plugin licenses. As I can see the pppd has as license the old style BSD 4 Clause license and some of the plugins which are loaded as a dynamic library are GPL licensed. So my question is: Is it true that these licenses are incompatible to each other in the context of the pppd + a loaded plugin?
