<http://www.fsf.org/licensing/licenses/index_html#GPLCompatibleLicenses> lists a modified BSD license.  Someone could use my BSD licensed code in a GPL program, but I can't use GPL code in a BSD licensed program, as far as I understand.  Yes, I could release it under the GPL, but I choose not to do that.
