Definiately DFSG-free.

As fo GPL-compatible.... probably. Strictly speaking even the X11 licence is 
not GPL compatible, because it has a restriciton
not found in the GPL: maintaing a copy of the terms of the X11 licence. 
However we overlook that normally. I figure if that is ignored, the 
requirement of including only a name and url is an ignorable incompatibility 
also.
