For what it’s worth, I am pretty sure that any version GNU GPL and ‘Stanford.txt’ are *not* compatible because of jurisdiction choice clause of the latter:
,----
| 6. This agreement shall be construed, interpreted and applied in
| accordance with the State of California and any legal action arising

| in the State of California.
`----
However, in case authors of igmpproxy are not bound by someone else’s copyleft (I did not check that), that should not be a unresolvable problem — they are able to give an excetion to allow such a combination. One might even argue that by distributing their work they had given an implicit exception already.
