Copyright and disclaimer AND conditions.

Er. Well, AFAIK, it says that the derivative work should be licensed 
under the GPL rather. It's not exactly the same.

The big problem is BSD requiring to retain the list of conditions. 
Here as well, we're back to the subject of the thread. If it didn't 
require this, I agree that it would be fully compatible with the GPL 
(with section 1 of the GPL allowing to keep copyright & disclaimer 
from the BSD).
