not all the BSD License are compatible with the GNU General Public License,
and infact only the FreeBSD  License is compatible with the GNU General
Public License.

again, you have not specify, which license is used by postgreesql, to say
BSD License has not sense.

Modified BSD license <http://www.xfree86.org/3.3.6/COPYRIGHT2.html#5>

(Note: on the preceding link, the modified BSD license is listed in the *
General* section.)

This is the original BSD license, modified by removal of the advertising
clause. It is a simple, permissive non-copyleft free software license,
compatible with the GNU GPL.

If you want a simple, permissive non-copyleft free software license, the
modified BSD license is a reasonable choice. However, it is risky to
recommend use of “the BSD license”, because confusion could easily occur and
lead to use of the flawed *original* BSD
license<http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#OriginalBSD>.
To avoid this risk, you can suggest the X11 license instead. The X11 license
and the revised BSD license are more or less equivalent.

This license is sometimes referred to as the 3-clause BSD license.
The Clear BSD License<http://labs.metacarta.com/license-explanation.html#license>

This is a free software license, compatible with both GPLv2 and GPLv3. It is
based on the modified BSD
license<http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#ModifiedBSD>,
and adds a term expressly stating it does not grant you any patent licenses.
Because of this, we encourage you to be careful about using software under
this license; you should first consider whether the licensor might want to
sue you for patent infringement. If the developer is disclaiming patent
licenses to set up a trap for you, it would be wise to avoid the program.
FreeBSD license <http://www.freebsd.org/copyright/freebsd-license.html>

This is the original BSD license with the advertising clause and another
clause removed. (It is also sometimes called the “2-clause BSD license”.) It
is a simple, permissive non-copyleft free software license, compatible with
the GNU GPL.

If you want a simple, permissive non-copyleft free software license, the
FreeBSD license is a reasonable choice. However, please don't call it a
“BSD” or “BSD-style” license, because that is likely to cause confusion
which could lead to use of the flawed *original* BSD
license<http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#OriginalBSD>
.

Original BSD license <http://www.xfree86.org/3.3.6/COPYRIGHT2.html#6>

(Note: on the preceding link, the original BSD license is listed in the *
UCB/LBL* section. This license is also sometimes called the “4-clause BSD
license”.)

This is a simple, permissive non-copyleft free software license with a
serious flaw: the “obnoxious BSD advertising clause”. The flaw is not fatal;
that is, it does not render the software non-free. But it does cause practical
problems <http://www.gnu.org/philosophy/bsd.html>, including incompatibility
with the GNU GPL.

We urge you not to use the original BSD license for software you write. If
you want to use a simple, permissive non-copyleft free software license, it
is much better to use the modified BSD
license<http://www.gnu.org/licenses/license-list.html#ModifiedBSD>or
the X11 license. However, there is no reason not to use programs that
have been released under the original BSD license.
