Last time I've checked programmers could use code licensed under BSD
license in GPL software, but they couldn't use code licensed under GPL in
BSD licensed software. BSD is compatible with GPL, but GPL is not
compatible with BSD.

BSD people are not concerned about compatibility of BSD license with GPL,
they are concerned about incompatibility of GPL with BSD. Same thing
applies to GPLv2 and GPLv3.

The only people worried about GPLv3 and not worried about GPLv2, are the
ones that use GPL software and restrict end user rights with hardware or
patents.
