I don't see any problem in combining software under that license with GPL
software, though. The license is no more restrictive than the GPL. It's
identical to the case of GPL software being combined with software under
the X license.

The GPL is a good license for scientific software, because pure science is
best done in the open, and the GPL assures that those who follow up on your
own development won't do it in a closed fashion.
