You should spend the time to understand the licensing issues.  It is not
immediately clear if GPL1 and GPL2 are compatible.  My memory is fuzzy
on this piont, and GPL1 is almost unheard of these days.

Also, you should heed Andrew's point about (original/4-clause) BSD vs
(modified/3-clause) BSD not being compatible with the GPL.  (But, I
don't think it makes any sense to assign incompatibility blame; licenses
are incompatible iff it is not possible to satisfy them simultaneously.)
