GPL compatible doesn't mean that  GPL software can be relicenced under
this licence.  It means  you can make  a derived work  containing both
this licence and the GPL. 

The BSD  licence is GPL compatible,  and is less  restrictive than the
GPL. 

If GPL v3  looks like the BSD (which I'm sure  won't happen ;-), then,
GPL v3 will be compatible with GPL v2, removing some restrictions.
