[GSoC] advice on license compatibility

[Andrea Trentini <andrea.trentini@unimi.it>]

Hi,
I'm one of the mentors of GSoC project BootTorrent (https://github.com/shreyanshk/boottorrent),
since we would like to pack 'opentracker' (https://erdgeist.org/arts/software/opentracker/) into
BootTorrent but they differ in license (GPL vs. beerware) we'd like to receive advice about the
compatibility of the two licenses: can a beerware product be included[1] into a GPLed product?
I believe so but I'm not sure.

Thank you

[1] beware that it would just be a simple packing - as in a distro - there is no direct link from
BootTorrent, it's simply to avoid users from downloading and compiling opentracker separately,
BootTorrent launches an available tracker and opentracker happens to be the smallest and easiest to
compile we've found.
